Looking for a Flightradar24 alternative?

If you mostly track airline flights, the big mainstream trackers are excellent at that. Squawk exists for a different person: the one who looks up.

What Squawk is built around that generic trackers aren't

• Military first, not filtered out. Military aircraft are never thinned from Squawk's map at any zoom, get their own sprites (C-17, P-8, tankers, helos), and a one-tap military-only worldwide mode.
• Alerts that come to you. Draw a zone anywhere and get a lock-screen push when aircraft enter it. Watch a military base and get pushed when jets, tankers or cargo depart or land — with runway and heading. Get a heads-up ping when a genuinely rare airframe (B-52, U-2, E-4B, An-124...) is about to pass over your house.
• Emergency squawks, live. 7700/7500/7600 aircraft pulse on the map and can push to your phone the moment they appear, anywhere in the world.
• A spotter's logbook. Log sightings with photos, track your lifelist, earn badges, and see your stats — the app remembers what you've caught.
• Shareable artifacts. Export 4K posters of a day's trails over your city, share live flight cards with a working web link anyone can open without the app.
• Honest data handling. Built on community ADS-B feeds with public credit and a no-resale pledge.

Where Squawk deliberately stays simple

Squawk is iPhone-only, spotter-focused, and doesn't try to be an airline-operations tool. If you need airport departure boards for business travel across every platform, a mainstream tracker may fit better. If you want to know what that gray jet was — this is the app.

Price

Squawk is a subscription app: the live map with military aircraft, trails, replay, alerts, the logbook and everything else come with Squawk Pro, $4.99/month or $34.99/year — new subscribers can start the yearly plan with a 1-week free trial.
