Rosetta Dash
Read full descriptionHide full description
Rosetta Dash is a focused safety and trip-readiness display for road trips, remote travel, and camping. It is not a navigation app and never presents a driver-facing map. See what matters now: • Live heading, GPS speed, altitude, pitch, and roll from your iPhone’s sensors • Tap either attitude instrument to calibrate it to your phone’s mounted position • Current temperature, wind, and visibility • Air quality from Open-Meteo • Active NOAA/National Weather Service alerts when available Rosetta Dash is built for an at-a-glance cockpit view: large instruments, calm hierarchy, and safety conditions above ordinary status. Location is used only while the app is open to calculate local conditions and device instruments. Rosetta Dash has no accounts, advertising, analytics SDKs, or in-app purchases.

Can I fly right now? xPilot Sky gives you the answer in seconds. xPilot Sky is the weather app made for drone pilots. It checks the conditions at your location and turns them into one clear flight status, so you can focus on flying, not on reading weather charts. TRAFFIC-LIGHT FLIGHT STATUS Wind, gusts, visibility, rain, icing and thunderstorms, all checked at once and summed up as Ready to fly, Caution or Do not fly. If something is off, xPilot Sky tells you why, for example "Gusts over limit". AI BRIEFING POWERED BY APPLE INTELLIGENCE Get a personal weather briefing in plain words, generated directly on your device. It explains what the numbers mean for your flight, including wind at flight altitude, and recommends when to take off. BEST FLIGHT WINDOW xPilot Sky finds the best time to fly today and in the coming days: calm wind, dry conditions and daylight. 48-HOUR WIND FORECAST See wind and gusts for the next 48 hours in a clear chart, with your wind limit marked, plus an hourly outlook with flight status for every hour. YOUR FLIGHT SPOTS Save your favorite spots and check their status anytime. SIRI & SHORTCUTS Just ask "Can I fly right now?" without opening the app. DESIGNED FOR PILOTS A clean, dark cockpit-style design that is easy to read, even outdoors. Built in Switzerland by a drone pilot, for drone pilots. Weather data: Open-Meteo. The AI briefing requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence. Note: xPilot Sky is a planning tool. As the pilot, you are always responsible for checking local regulations, airspace restrictions and the actual conditions on site before you fly.
