Launching Skyty Wall

Hi Product Hunt,

I'm Kim, and Skyty Wall is the smaller, weirder sibling of Skyty — the offline GPS flight tracker for people who fly (pilots, passengers).

Skyty Wall is the opposite: it's for people on the ground who keep glancing up.

The story is simple. I wanted a flight board in my office — the kind that hangs in airports, or that TheFlightWall sells for $499+, or that Vestaboard sells for $3,000+. I have a spare iPad in a drawer. The math wrote itself.

So Skyty Wall takes any iPad, iPhone, or Mac and turns it into a live, ambient flight board. It pulls real-time ADS-B aircraft positions from adsb.lol, enriches them with airline + route + aircraft type from adsbdb.com, and renders them in one of three aesthetics:

— LED. Amber dots on black, bloom, scanlines. The classic airport flight wall.

— Split-flap. Cream flaps on dark wood. Every character flips when the list changes.

— Minimal. Cream paper, editorial serif, hairline dividers. Quiet enough to mount in a living room without yelling "tech demo".

Premium is €4.99 lifetime. One payment. No subscription, no ads, no nags. The free tier is genuinely free and useful (one location, LED theme, basic widget). Premium unlocks the rest — all three themes, Focus mode (one flight, huge, auto-follow), Live Activities on iPhone, all widgets, multi-location with iCloud sync, custom accent colors.

Things I won't do:

— No account. Never. iCloud sync uses your own iCloud — I don't see your data.

— No third-party SDKs. No analytics. No crash reporter that phones home.

— No subscription. €4.99 once. Family Sharing on.

It runs on iOS 17+, iPadOS 17+, macOS 14+, Universal Purchase. Made by a one-person shop based in Switzerland, written in Swift 6 / SwiftUI from a single codebase.

I'd love your honest take — especially from anyone who's ever mounted an iPad on the wall and wondered what to do with it. Asking it me anything.

Kim
