Squawkr: never miss a good flying day

We’ve launched Squawkr, a flight-planning app that brings airfield information, local weather, crosswind and restriction areas together. It opened to the public on 19 September 2026, with its core functionality available for free. But this initial release is just the beginning.

Our vision is to create a suite of software and hardware devices that aid pilots before, during and after their flights. The first app starts with making pre-flight information easier to understand. Over time, we want Squawkr to support the wider experience of flying, bringing useful tools into the moments when pilots need them.

The idea is simple: less decoding, more flying. The information pilots need is spread across several sources, and much of it arrives as METAR, TAF and NOTAM code. Squawkr collects it and turns it into a view that is easier to read, while keeping the original source text available to check.

A clearer picture before you fly

Open an airfield and you can see its runways, a true-scale 3D view and satellite imagery. Squawkr suggests the runway that best suits the wind, shows the headwind or tailwind and crosswind for every runway, including gusts, and visualises wind flowing across the runway in the 3D view.

The latest METAR is decoded into flight rules, wind, visibility, cloud base, temperature and pressure. Cloud layers are drawn on an altitude chart, and TAF forecasts become a timeline of the conditions ahead. Raw METAR and TAF remain available exactly as issued.
