Boarding passes get thrown away. The journeys don't have to be. SkyNexus turns your flight history into a private archive you'll want to revisit. Each flight becomes a card in the airline's era-correct colours — the livery it wore on the day you flew, not the one it wears now — with the route drawn as an arc across the world. Four ways in. Share a boarding pass from Apple Wallet. Import a spreadsheet you've kept for years. Forward a booking confirmation to your own private SkyNexus address and let it read the flight in for you. Or add a flight by hand in four steps: when, where, which airline, confirm. However it arrives, every flight is a first-class part of your history. Your world, drawn. Every flight becomes an arc on an interactive globe — how far you've flown, the countries you've touched, the airports you've passed through. Scrub through your flying life one year at a time. The aircraft, too. Fleet collects every type in your history that we can identify, from the first turboprop to the last widebody. The flights you've taken and the aircraft you've spotted, together in one place. Share the story. Send a flight you've taken as a picture. You see a preview first, and nothing is sent until you choose where. A card you share never shows your seat, your booking reference or the name on your ticket. Yours, and private. No third-party tracking. Nothing following you around the internet. Export your flights and your sightings as a CSV file whenever you want, free. Logging is free. No trial that turns read-only. SkyNexus Plus adds your Year in Flying and the geographies you've collected, and the story behind the aircraft where we can trace it — and it's ad-free. SkyNexus Plus is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
