PPGLog is the flight logbook and maintenance tracker built for paramotor (PPG) pilots — automatic, native, and beautiful. YOUR LOGBOOK, AUTOMATIC PPGLog uses GPS and the barometer to detect takeoff and landing — foot launch or trike — and records duration, distance, max altitude and your track. After landing, just confirm the flight with a tap. ENGINE & WING HOURS, TRACKED FOR YOU Every confirmed flight updates your engine hours and your wing hours separately. See exactly how long until the next overhaul. NEVER MISS A DEADLINE Engine overhaul (2‑stroke or 4‑stroke), reserve parachute repack, wing checks and insurance — PPGLog tracks them and reminds you in time. FLY READY Interactive pre‑flight checklist, live flight view with timer, altitude and speed, plus Lock Screen & Dynamic Island Live Activity. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your data stays on your device and syncs only to your own private iCloud. Also: Home & Lock Screen widgets, Siri shortcuts, six languages.
