Meet Skyty Wall — turn any iPad into a flight board
A second app, a second perspective. Skyty has always been for the people in the seat. Skyty Wall is for the people on the ground, looking up.
If you have ever priced a hardware flight board, you know the number that comes back: $499 and up. A dedicated panel that lights up with whatever is overhead. Beautiful — and a hard sell, because most of us already own a perfectly good display that mostly sits in a drawer.
So we built Skyty Wall. Same idea, no hardware. The old iPad you stopped using becomes a live flight board on your wall, your shelf, or your kitchen counter.
What it does
- Live flights overhead. Pick a location once. The board updates around the clock with what is in the sky above you.
- Three themes. LED panel (free with the app), Vestaboard-style split-flap (premium), and a minimal editorial look (premium). Match the room.
- Tracked flights. Follow your mom’s flight; get a notification when it actually passes overhead. Live progress on your Lock Screen.
- Filters. Only airliners. Only Swiss. Only above 10 000 metres. The wall shows the slice of sky you actually care about.
- Display schedule. Dim or sleep on a per-weekday schedule. OLED-safe.
- Universal Purchase. iPhone, iPad, Mac — pay once, install everywhere. Family Sharing included.
All for €4.99, one time. No subscription, no account, no analytics SDKs. Same privacy DNA as the rest of Skyty.
Why two apps?
Skyty (the original) is for travellers at 10 000 metres — offline GPS, the map you brought with you, the position that works without Wi-Fi. Skyty Wall is the inverse: you are on the ground, you have Wi-Fi, and you want to see what is flying over you. Same brand, opposite vantage point.
Where we are
Skyty Wall is currently in TestFlight and on its way to App Store review. We will flip the App Store badge live the moment it ships and will write a proper launch post when it does. Until then, the Skyty Wall page has the full breakdown of features, themes, and a fair comparison vs. the hardware route.
If you have an old iPad in a drawer — that is the device this app was built for.
