No internet required for local detection. Live Aircraft Traffic Connect to a portable ADS-B receiver to see manned aircraft positions, callsigns, altitudes, and velocities — the same data used by professional ground stations. FAA Airspace Layers Display Class B, C, D, and E airspace boundaries, TFRs, restricted and prohibited areas, and obstructions directly on the map. Know your airspace at a glance. Proximity Alerts Configurable caution and warning rings notify you when aircraft or drones enter your defined range and altitude thresholds.

DroneEar detects nearby drones using your smartphone's Bluetooth sensor and microphone. All processing happens on your device — no internet connection required, and no data ever leaves your phone. TIER 1 — Remote ID Detection - Detects BLE Remote ID broadcasts (ASTM F3411 standard) - Reads a broadcasting drone's serial number, GPS position, altitude, speed and heading - Shows the drone's real bearing and distance from your location - Shows the operator's location when the drone broadcasts it TIER 2 — Acoustic Detection (Beta) - Detects multirotor drone sound through the phone microphone - Matched against acoustic fingerprints built from real drone recordings - Acoustic detection only signals that a drone-like sound is nearby — it does not provide a position - Support for more aircraft types is planned for future updates MORE FEATURES - Real-time map showing the position of Remote ID drones - Detection history - Indoor/outdoor environment detection — flags conditions that affect detection accuracy - Three display themes: Day, Night, and AMOLED 15 LANGUAGES Korean, English, Ukrainian, Arabic, Gulf Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Urdu, Filipino, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese PRIVACY - 100% on-device processing - No data collection of any kind - No analytics, no tracking - No internet required - No account required DISCLAIMER DroneEar is an awareness aid, not a security or safety system. Remote ID detection only works for drones that broadcast Remote ID, and many drones do not. Acoustic detection is a probabilistic estimate strongly affected by environment, distance, and background noise. Do not rely on DroneEar for safety-critical decisions or security purposes.
