About Planely: Plane Spotting Alerts

Stop missing what's flying over you. Planely alerts your phone when a flight passes overhead — and tells you exactly where in the sky to look. No map. No app to open. Other flight trackers make you do the work. You hear a plane, grab your phone, open the app, find the map, pinch to zoom, tap the dot — and by then it's gone. Planely flips it around. Your phone taps YOU when a commercial flight passes overhead. Just a notification: UAL1951 · E, 12° up Boeing 737-800 United Airlines 34,000 ft Look east, a little above the horizon. There it is. Glance, smile, get back to your day. HOW IT WORKS Planely watches the sky around you for major commercial flights and notifies you the moment one enters your radius — with the direction and height to point your eyes. Open the notification and a live sky view tracks the plane as it crosses over. WHO IT'S FOR • Aviation enthusiasts who want to know what is flying over • People who live or work under flight paths and are curious • Plane spotters tired of fumbling with map apps • Anyone who likes a challenge — Planely tells you a 737 is up there, 40° above the trees to the west. Can you find it? WHAT YOU GET • Push alerts when major airlines pass over you • Every alert tells you where to look — "E, 12° up" • Flight details — airline, altitude and aircraft type • A live sky compass showing exactly where to point • Only uncommon flights — skip the daily regulars and hear only about airlines and aircraft you rarely see • First and Rare badges — your first-ever Emirates or 787, with the flight's route over the US • A 24-hour timeline of every plane that crossed your sky • Save your favorite flyovers and share them • Direction filter — only get pinged for planes in the parts of the sky you can see • Altitude floor and ceiling — skip the low approaches or the high cruisers • Wearing an Apple Watch?

What’s new

Version 1.4.7 · Updated October 21, 2026

New: choose how many alerts you get, right from the Watch screen. Tap the bell for every flight, the diamond for rare flights only, or the crossed-out bell to pause. - Rare flights only. Alerts for just the aircraft and airlines you rarely see in your sky. It unlocks after your first 100 alerts, once Planely has learned what's normal where you are. - "There it is!" When you find a plane with the sky dome, an arrow now shows you're pointing right at it. - More accurate sky dome. It no longer opens pointing at the plane before your compass has settled. - Rare flights now stand out in gold on your flight details. - Small fixes and polish.
