What is Squawk?

Squawk is an iOS flight tracker built for plane spotters and military-aviation watchers — the people who hear a jet and go outside.

The one-paragraph version

Squawk is a live flight-tracking app for iPhone. It shows every aircraft the volunteer ADS-B network can see — airliners, general aviation, helicopters, and military — on a live map with altitude-colored trails. What makes it different is what it does when you are not looking at the map: it can push an alert to your lock screen when any aircraft enters an area you care about, when jets or tankers depart a military base you watch, when a rare airframe like a B-52 or U-2 is about to pass overhead, or when an aircraft anywhere in the world declares an emergency.

Plain facts

Who it is for

Spotters who keep a logbook. People who live near a base and want to know what just took off. Avgeeks who want a ping when something rare is inbound instead of refreshing a map. Anyone who has ever heard military traffic overhead and wondered what it was.

See every aircraft. Get pinged when it matters.

Squawk is the live flight tracker for people who look up — on iPhone, with alerts that reach your Lock Screen even when the app is closed.
