Nearby intelligence helps you notice the moment. You make the real-world confirmation. Your collection remembers it.
Spot
Look up, see the aircraft yourself, then manually confirm the Spot. Proximity alone never creates one.
Collect
Each confirmed Spot grows your aircraft, registration and type collection — a record of what you truly saw.
Nearby opportunities
Know when to look up.
A focused Radar combines fresh aircraft observations, current-device location and visibility context to help you understand what is worth your attention now. It is spotting guidance, never aviation navigation.
◎
Fresh current contextCurrent Radar and physical Spot eligibility use a fresh location from the active device.
◷
Session on your termsAn Active Spotting Session is explicitly started, bounded to two hours and can be stopped at any time.
Personal by design
Not a feed. Your aviation story.
Track the aircraft, registrations and types you have genuinely spotted. Personal novelty helps the next unfamiliar aircraft stand out, while Favorites keep meaningful aircraft and operators close.
Confirmed by you
Only a manual Spot adds to your collection.
Favorites with purpose
Follow aircraft interests and receive useful alerts when the product has credible evidence.
Progress that stays yours
Free includes the complete spotting and collection loop; Plus adds proactive intelligence, not privileged spotting.
Built with restraint
Location-aware, not location-hungry.
FlightTrove uses fresh current location for nearby discovery and physical Spot checks. Saved alert locations are remote contexts — never proof that you are there. V1 keeps no location trail and does not continuously collect background location by default.
