Inbounder Pro

Flight Tracking

Inbounder Pro is a Mac flight tracker for you if you want to identify nearby aircraft, follow live flights, or review recent overhead passes.

by Mark Sajatovic

What you get

Find out what flew overhead, even after you missed it.

You can identify aircraft above your home or office without guessing from the sound alone. Inbounder Pro shows nearby flights on a live map, where you can check the airline, aircraft model, flight number, route, altitude, and speed. When you want to spot a plane outside, compass bearings and elevation angles tell you where to look.

If you missed a flyover, you can rewind your monitored airspace by up to two hours and review each aircraft’s path and closest approach. Highlighted passes help you find likely sources of a loud rumble, including large airliners and low overhead aircraft, rather than measuring the noise itself.

You can watch the area around your location, a chosen address, or an airport, then narrow the view to aircraft that interest you. Menu bar access and desktop radar widgets let you check nearby activity without keeping the main map open.
