There is always something
in the sky above you.
Skyscope is a small instrument that sits on a shelf and quietly shows you every aircraft passing overhead.
Watch the live radarA radar scope for your own patch of sky.
You received one as a gift. It is a round display that, once it is on your WiFi, draws a slow radar sweep — and every plane within range appears as a blip, with the nearest one named: its callsign, its altitude, how far out it is.
Nothing to check, nothing to log into. It simply runs. Some hours the sky is busy; some hours it is empty and the sweep turns over still water. Both are worth watching.
Three steps. No computer.

Watch the sky
The radar begins to sweep. The first blip is the good part.
Honest about the magic.
Aircraft constantly broadcast their position. A network of volunteer receivers around the world picks those broadcasts up and pools them. Every few seconds your Skyscope asks that network what is flying near your coordinates, and draws it on the scope.
So it is not pulling signals from the air itself — it leans on a shared, community-run map of the sky. What it gives you is that map, made small and calm and entirely yours, on a shelf.
“Look up.”
