About Satellity: Satellite Tracker
Satellity tells you when a satellite is worth going out for, and guides you to it.
TONIGHT
The first screen answers one question: is anything worth seeing? If there is, it tells you the time, where it appears, how high it climbs (in fists, at arm’s length), and draws its path over the sky you’ll have at that hour. Every pass has its “Will I see it?” score: how bright the satellite is against your sky, the Moon, its height, how long it’s visible, and the cloud forecast. If nothing tonight is worth it, it says so.
ALERTS AND A GUIDE
A Time Sensitive alert with the lead you choose (5, 10, or 15 minutes before) that can get through Do Not Disturb, a countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and a full-screen guide that tells you which way to turn and how far to look up, with sound and haptics so you don’t have to stare at your phone. And a red night mode, which the guide turns on by itself once it’s dark, to protect your night vision.
THE SKY RIGHT NOW
A sky chart with the stars, the Moon, the planets, and the satellites overhead, and “What’s overhead?” to see which ones you can see and which you can’t, and why.
EXPLORE
The International Space Station and Tiangong with their crews, the Hubble Space Telescope, upcoming launches and reentries, and thousands of satellites with names that make sense, each with its next passes. Star your favorites, and get alerts for the passes you care about.
THE GLOBE
The Earth, the Sun, and the Moon where they really are, with day and night, the satellites the app knows, and the geostationary belt.
SATELLITY PRO
For those who want more: every Starlink and the full catalog on the globe, the Earth seen from the ISS, “What was that?” to identify a light you saw, the camera that shows the satellite over the real sky, ISS and Tiangong transits across the Sun and the Moon, “Satellites in Your Frame” to know which satellites will cross your photo, and alerts for the passes of any satellite in the full catalog. A yearly subscription with a one-week free trial for new subscribers, or a one-time purchase.
The free app doesn’t expire: passes, “Will I see it?”, pass alerts (the automatic one too), the Live Activity, widgets, the guide, night mode, the sky chart, and “What’s overhead?”.
PRIVACY
