Steward: Live Flight Tracker

Steward is a personal travel butler for your flights. It finds your trips, keeps the gate and the times live on your lock screen, and tells you the moment something changes, so you can stop checking the airline app.

★ LIVE ON THE LOCK SCREEN
• From two hours before departure, one live update shows your flight: the gate, a countdown to boarding, take off or landing, and one bar for the whole trip
• On Android 16 and newer it sits in the status bar as a small chip: B42, Board, +35 or Belt 7
• At boarding time your boarding pass opens over the lock screen, ready to scan
• Unpin it when you do not need it, and show it again with one tap

★ ALERTS THAT MATTER
• Gate changes, delays, diversions and a new landing time
• Boarding, take off, landing, the arrival gate and the baggage belt
• Your plane is running late: a warning when the plane due to fly you is short of time on its way in
• Cancelled flight: the other nonstop flights on the same route in the next day, ready to follow
• Connections: how much time you have, marked tight or may miss
• A reminder to check in, and a reminder when to leave for the airport, from the times you set or, if you allow it, from where you are

★ ADD A FLIGHT WITHOUT TYPING
• Find in my calendar: flight bookings Gmail puts into Google Calendar show up with Add and Not mine
• Share or open a boarding pass PDF, a Wallet pass or a screenshot of the barcode, and every leg of the trip is added with its seat
• Or type the flight number and pick the day

★ SHARE YOUR ETA
• Send a live link to the people picking you up. It opens in any browser, with no app and no account
• The link shows the flight only, never your seat or your name, and it ends a few hours after you land

★ AND MORE
• The flight on a real world map with the plane on its route
• A timeline with the planned times struck through and words like 9m early
• Keep flights in my calendar: Steward can write your flights into your calendar and keep them up to date
• A home screen widget with the countdown, gate and status of your next flight
• Passport: every flight you follow fills it, with its route on the map, the distance, the hours in the air and the airports
• Light and dark looks, big text and TalkBack labels

★ HOW THE SUBSCRIPTION WORKS
Steward is free to download, and using it needs a subscription. Every trip you follow is watched live by a paid flight data service, around the clock, so there is no free version and no ads.
• New subscribers get 3 days free through Google Play, one trial per Google account
• After the trial the subscription starts, monthly or yearly, unless you cancel in Google Play before it ends
• Every plan has every feature and covers every phone you have. Plans differ only in how many flights you follow a month: Steward 10, Steward Pro 30, Steward Unlimited with no count
• A connection on the same trip is free, a flight removed within an hour is given back, and the count starts again on the 1st. A busy month? Add 10 more flights, they never run out
• If the subscription ends, your trips stay in the app as a read only list

★ PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No ads, no tracking, no analytics and no sign in. To watch a flight, Steward sends its server the flight number, the day and the seat you added, and a push token so alerts can reach your phone. Your calendar is read on the phone, and only the flight number and day of a flight you add leave it. Boarding passes stay on your phone. If you turn on From where I am, one rough location guesses the drive to the airport on the phone and is never sent. For the weather where you land, only the arrival airport's place and time leave it. A photo of your plane is looked up by its registration only, when you ask. Flight data comes from AeroDataBox, weather from MET Norway and Open-Meteo, plane photos from Planespotters.net.
