Wingover helps you plan and record your paramotor flights. No ads. No analytics. No account necessary. Open source software. Privacy first: Your flights stay on your device unless you turn on sync. One tap starts recording. GPS track, altitude, climb rate, and groundspeed are captured every second and survive screen-off, backgrounding, and even an app crash. Recording outranks everything. IN FLIGHT • Live instruments: groundspeed, altitude, climb rate, heading, flight timer, distance from launch • Records with the screen off; speaks waypoint callouts aloud • Sunlight-readable, gloves-first design LOGBOOK • Every flight with its stats: duration, distance, max and average speed, altitude, launch and landing points • Cumulative airtime and flight count • Replay any flight on the map • GPX export and import: your data, in open formats, forever PLANNING • Drop pins for launches, LZs, fuel stops, and hazards • Satellite and street maps SYNC (OPTIONAL) Subscribe to back your flights up and see them on any device at wingover.app. Prefer full control? Point the app at your own free sync server instead; both work identically. A lapsed subscription never locks you out: everything you synced stays readable and exportable. Open source (AGPL). Built by a pilot, for pilots. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
