CabinLink reads supported in-flight Wi-Fi manifests and turns them into a native flight dashboard. See route, current position, altitude, speed, ETA, aircraft details, and destination weather, with last-known updates when the cabin connection drops. No login, no ads, and no paid Wi-Fi pass required for supported manifests. Launches Jun 7, 2026 at 9 AM MST on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.
I like how specific this is. Airline Wi-Fi pages are usually slow, ugly, and annoying to keep open, so turning that hidden flight data into a clean Apple-style dashboard is a neat idea.
The part I’d care about most is knowing before the flight whether my airline is supported. Even a simple “likely works / not sure yet” list would make the app easier to trust before boarding.
Sorry I am sure you get this all the time, any plans for an Android version?
If not I might whip something up for myself in the meantime
Do you have an Android version or a repo link?
Reading the in-flight Wi-Fi manifest directly is a clever approach, most flight tracker apps need you to input your flight manually.

Which airlines or wifi providers are actually supported via manifests right now?
Is this for airplanes that don’t have seatback screens? Usually, the same information can be viewed on the screen in the seat in front of you, or if there isn’t one, on the screen at the end of the row.

This is such a great launch, especially when holiday/vacay session is coming. BTW, I am on my travels too, so may use it later. :)

@busmark_w_nika thank you. I wanted to release this publicly just before the WWDC but my timing couldn't be more off. The public release on the App Store is about to go live in 9 hours from now. Can't wait for everyone to try this out and I am actively working on the next set of features that will make the app more delightful to use. Thanks again! :)
