OverheadView turns your iPhone into a live radar for the sky above you. See what is flying overhead in real time. Center the map on your location and watch nearby aircraft move across an interactive map, sourced from community ADS-B data. Tap any aircraft to see its callsign, altitude, speed, heading, and route when available. KEY FEATURES • Live aircraft radar — track nearby planes and helicopters in real time on an interactive map centered on your location. • Centered on you — the radar follows your location to surface the aircraft closest to you, wherever you are. • Flight details — tap any aircraft for its callsign, altitude, speed, heading, and route. • Flight search and follow — look up a specific flight and follow it with a predicted path. • Drone Remote ID — detect nearby drones broadcasting ASTM F3411 / OpenDroneID over Bluetooth, processed on your device (experimental). • Interactive map — pan and zoom a smooth, native Apple Map. • Privacy-minded — no account, no login. We do not collect names or emails to identify you, and we never sell your data. Whether you are a plane spotter, an aviation enthusiast, or simply curious about that aircraft you just heard overhead, OverheadView gives you a clear, up-to-date picture of nearby air traffic. Aircraft data is sourced from community ADS-B networks and may not reflect all air traffic. OverheadView is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended for navigation or any safety-critical use.
