01 / MODES
Use your existing setup—or just your phone.
Companion connects to a Local Flight computer you already run. Standalone runs a simpler flight board from the phone itself. Compare the connection, history, and update timing below.
MODE / 01
Connect to the Local Flight setup you already run.
Pair the phone with the computer running Local Flight over your home or local network (LAN). Companion then shows that setup’s board, radar, history, and display information.
- At home
- The phone connects directly to your own Local Flight setup over Wi-Fi or LAN.
- Away from home
- Optional Remote Companion sends end-to-end encrypted messages while your Local Flight computer stays online.
- History
- Shows the movement history saved by your Local Flight setup.
- Best for
- An existing Windows, macOS, Linux, or Raspberry Pi installation.
MODE / 02
Run a flight board directly on this phone.
Standalone connects to Beacon Tools’ shared online service (Community Relay), so you do not need to keep a computer or Raspberry Pi running.
- Connection
- The phone connects to Community Relay over the internet.
- Update limits
- Three-hour boards and five-minute visible radar updates keep shared use sustainable.
- History
- Recent movement history stays on the phone.
- Best for
- A mobile flight board without another Local Flight device.
02 / ON YOUR PHONE
A mobile interface designed for the screen in your hand.
Move between the board, nearby-aircraft radar, movement history, setup, and widgets with navigation made for a phone.
Nearby aircraft
Follow the same 15-second sweep used by desktop and browser views, with phone-friendly range and detail controls.
Recent movements
Companion shows history from your Local Flight computer. Standalone keeps its recent movement history on the phone.
A quick saved view
Widgets show the latest copy saved by the app. They never contact your computer, Community Relay, or an aviation-data provider by themselves.
03 / CURRENT BUILDS
Real screens from the current testing build.
The iOS captures are from 0.5.1 and remain visually current for 0.5.2; Android shows the matching testing interface. These are real Local Flight screens, not generic device mockups.
04 / UPDATE TIMING
How often phone-only mode checks for new data.
Standalone uses measured update limits to keep Community Relay sustainable. If a provider has a temporary problem, the last known board can remain visible instead of disappearing.
Flight board
Standalone checks for a new schedule board no more often than every three hours.
Open radar view
Standalone asks for new radar data no more often than every five minutes while the view is open.
Maximum range
Phone-only radar offers 1, 3, 5, and 10 nautical mile ranges.
