OutDare is the all-in-one paragliding app: know when and where to fly, record every flight, and share the sky with your friends — from your phone to your watch. Stop refreshing weather apps. OutDare reads the forecast for every flying site near you and tells you exactly when it's flyable — based on YOUR wind range, gust tolerance and minimum flying time. KNOW WHEN TO FLY • Flyability verdicts — green / yellow / red for today and the next 10 days, tuned to each site's wind directions and your personal limits. • It shows its work — every verdict names the one thing holding it back, and whose limit that is: yours or the site's. • Honest live cross-check — nearby wind stations are graded for trust, and we tell you when they disagree with the forecast. • We check our own forecasts — over 300,000 comparisons against live wind stations so far, and every site shows you how often its forecast was right. • Smart alerts — get pinged when a saved site turns flyable. Choose the days, the hour and how far ahead. • Sharper forecasts — each site auto-routes to the best high-resolution regional weather model. • Winds aloft — wind at every altitude, thermal tops and cloud layers, hour by hour. • Flyable Nearby — search any town on Earth and see what's flyable around it, day by day. • Weekly outlook — an optional email with the flyable days ahead at your favourites. RECORD & RELIVE • Flight recorder with a live vario, route guidance and screen-free spoken callouts. • Never lose a flight — forget to press record and OutDare still quietly captures it, ready to save when you land. • Official XC scoring — distance, triangles and points, scored the way the leagues do it. • Signed IGC tracks with one-tap upload to WeGlide, DHV-XC and Leonardo — or send to XContest. • Import your back catalogue — IGC, GPX and FIT files from any vario or watch. • 3D replay — every flight filmed like a drone over the real terrain; share it as a film. • Your flying passport — countries, launches, records and your whole flight history on your profile. ON YOUR WATCH Apple Watch and Wear OS: start and stop recording from your wrist, with a glanceable cockpit and a haptic vario you can feel. FLY TOGETHER • Live pilots worldwide — watch paragliders flying right now across the map (OutDare + the Open Glider Network), and share a live link anyone can open in a browser. • See who's at a launch and who's in the air, written in plain words above the map pins. • Groups — bring your club or school together with live chat, photos and pinned announcements. • Messaging, kudos, comments and a flying activity feed. • Share a "will I fly?" card straight into your club chat. FLY SAFER • Automatic SOS — after a hard landing, OutDare can alert your emergency contacts and nearby pilots with your exact location, with a countdown to cancel false alarms. • Airspace and obstacle layers on your live and replay maps, with real height-above-ground. EVERY SITE, IN DEPTH • 14,000 community-curated sites across 135 countries and territories — bundled offline, so the map loads instantly. • Live wind stations near each site (OpenWindMap, METAR, MeteoSwiss, Holfuy and more). • Webcams, pilot reports, community photos, star reviews and landing zones. • Site stats — how often a launch gets flown, who flew there today and the local regulars. • Tide times for coastal sites. • Add missing sites and suggest corrections — confirmed by the community. YOUR AI WINGMAN • Ask OutDare — an assistant that knows your sites and pulls real forecasts. Ask "where can I fly this weekend?" MAKE IT YOURS Per-site and per-wing wind ranges, your units, your wing setup. 7 languages — favourites, logbook and settings backed up to your account. Built by pilots, for pilots. Note: OutDare provides forecast and informational guidance only. Always check live conditions on-site and use your own judgement before flying. The pilot is responsible for all flight decisions.
