Read full description

FlightLedger is a simple, private flight log. Scan a boarding pass barcode, take a photo of a ticket, or type in your trip—then see every flight on a list and on a world map. No account, no ads, no tracking. ADD FLIGHTS YOUR WAY • Scan the barcode on your boarding pass (BCBP) for instant From/To, date, and flight number—supports multi-leg trips. • Prefer a photo? Point your camera or pick an image; the app crops and reads the text (OCR) and suggests departure, arrival, date, and flight number. Edit anything before saving. • Add multiple photos in one go and confirm each flight. • Or enter trips manually: search airports by IATA code, name, or keywords (including Chinese). YOUR FLIGHTS ON THE MAP • Every flight appears as a route on a global map with pins for departure and arrival. • Filter by year and see visited countries, total flights, and total distance (in km). • Tap a flight for details and a single-route map; edit or delete any time (swipe to delete in the list or use Delete in the detail screen). GLOBAL AIRPORT DATA • The app includes worldwide airport data (including China). Search by IATA (e.g. PEK, PVG), English name, or local keywords. • Perfect for frequent flyers and trip planners who want one place for all their flights. PRIVACY FIRST • All data stays on your device. We don’t collect, upload, or sell your trips. • No analytics, no ads, no account required. Camera and photos are used only when you scan or pick an image. • Delete individual flights or remove the app to erase everything. Requires iOS 17 or later. Best with iPhone and iPad.

JustLogbook is the digital flight logbook built for ULM and light aircraft pilots. Stop carrying a paper logbook that gets lost, soaked, or left at home. Log every flight in 30 seconds — from the app or by sending a WhatsApp message to our bot — and let JustLogbook do the math. Built in Spain, compliant with RD 182/2026, and ready to generate the official AESA PDF in one tap. WHY PILOTS SWITCH FROM PAPER • Never lose a flight again. Every entry is backed up daily on European servers (Germany, GDPR). • Hours calculated automatically. PIC, Dual, SPIC, day and night landings, totals — no more adding columns by hand. • Export the official AESA PDF in one tap, or download everything as an Excel sheet whenever you need it. • Manage every aircraft you fly — registration, model, engine — without retyping data on every flight. • Already have hours? Import your previous logbook or add a single starting balance and pick up where you left off. LOG FLIGHTS BY WHATSAPP Just landed? Send a short message to our WhatsApp bot — "1:30h in EC-XYZ from Sabadell, PIC" — and the flight is logged instantly. No app to open, no forms to fill. You can also ask the bot for your totals at any time.
