Split-flap board
A virtual departure board that clacks over to the single closest aircraft — airline, route, altitude, distance.
LIVERX 1090.000 MHz · 12 overhead
The sky above you,
rendered live.
A handbuilt desktop device that pulls information about the aircraft overhead directly from the aircraft. No internet connection needed, and no third-party data API. Choose from one of four display modes: live radar, replay art, split-flap nearest aircraft, and telemetry data.

Four ways to watch the sky.
Press the button on the side to cycle four hand-built views of the same live traffic. Every one of them is designed to be looked at — on a desk, a shelf, a hangar wall.
01 · LIVE
Live radar
A real-time scope of everything your antenna can hear, plotted over a local basemap with heading, altitude and range — the actual aircraft above you, not a replay or someone else’s feed. When a notable aircraft passes over, Live raises a flyover alert with its full detail: type, registration, route and climb.
02 · REPLAY
Replay, as art
Animate a full day of nearby traffic into a single dynamic piece — thousands of trails blooming out of the airports around you. It quietly turns into a generative artwork that never repeats.
04 · TELEMETRY
Telemetry data
The numbers behind your local sky — busiest hours, top airlines, rarest types and first-seen tail numbers near you.
/ build-quality
Built like an instrument, not a prototype.
A laser-cut acrylic and 3D-printed enclosure, labeled ports, a real power switch, and a mark etched into the case. Each unit is assembled, flashed and bench-tested by hand before it ships — and the software underneath is engineered to run quietly for years. Switch modes with the button on the side; do the rest of your setup from your phone.

/ why-we-built-it
Your sky, straight off the air.
This display pulls the aircraft overhead out of the air with its own antenna and receiver, and decodes them right here on the device. What you see is the sky as it is this second — received first-hand, yours from the moment it leaves the airplane, and never needing to leave your home to reach the screen.
Why that matters →- 01Its own antenna & receiver. It listens to 1090 MHz ADS-B directly and decodes the broadcasts itself.
- 02No third-party data feed. No outside API in the display path — nothing to rate-limit, cap, or switch off.
- 03Works with no network. Maps live on the device; it runs offline by design.
