Overflight on tvOS
A flight tracker for Apple TV. The real kind.
Flight tracking on a television usually means a phone app stretched to 1080p. Overflight goes the other way: the Apple TV version is the centerpiece, an ambient instrument that sits on the big screen and tells the room what's overhead.
Built to be left on.
The carousel advances by itself every few seconds, so the display never needs the remote. When the sky empties, the scope drops to a standby sweep and a contact count, not a spinner and not a dialog. It reads like instrumentation because it is.
When something notable is inbound, the whole instrument turns amber and counts down to closest approach. In a room, that's an event.
Your exact location, without typing a single coordinate.
An Apple TV knows roughly where it is, which is enough to start. For a scope that's honest about bearings and elevation angles, press play/pause and point your iPhone camera at the QR code on screen. Your phone sends one precise fix; the pairing server holds it for minutes, then deletes it. The scope re-centers, and the visibility model picks up your true ground elevation from terrain data.
For the people who look up.
Overflight on the TV is for the household that hears traffic on the downwind and wants a name for it: spotters, ADS-B feeders, simmers, anyone who has ever paused a conversation for a low pass. iPhone and iPad run the same instrument for the pocket and the porch. The main page covers the whole system.
On the waitlist, the TestFlight invite covers every platform.
