Coffee & Radar

Real planes. Real time. No cost. No nonsense.

About Coffee & Radar

Look up, see a plane, launch the app. Satisfy your curiosity.

Coffee & Radar puts a live air traffic radar in your pocket. Centered on your GPS position, it pulls real ADS-B flight data from the OpenSky Network and displays it on a classic phosphor-green radar scope — range rings, sweep line, glowing contacts and all.

Tap any blip to see flight details: callsign, altitude, speed, heading, bearing and distance from you, and aircraft make and model when available.

No subscriptions. No ads. No accounts. No data collected. Just you, a cup of coffee, and every plane in the sky above you.
