Skyty
Your flight, tracked offline. No WiFi, no data, no subscriptions.
Skyty is an iOS app that tracks your real-time position, altitude, speed, and route during flights entirely offline using GPS. It bundles a full vector world map, NASA terrain data for altitude above ground, flight recording with GPX export, and a landmark spotter — all without requiring WiFi, a data connection, or a subscription. It also supports Apple Watch, Live Activity, and Dynamic Island.
The app uses the device's GPS hardware combined with a bundled offline vector world map and NASA SRTM terrain data to compute and display flight data entirely on-device with no internet connection required.
