The free, open cockpit for hot air balloon pilots — from pre-flight AI planning to real-time tracking and passenger experience.
Who it's for
Three roles, one ecosystem. Whether you're holding the burner or watching from below, BalloonRadar keeps you connected.
Your cockpit in the sky. Plan, fly, and land with confidence using tools built by a pilot with 30 years in the air.
No more guesswork. Follow the balloon's live position and get navigation to the predicted landing zone — updated in real time.
Watch the magic unfold. Passengers and ground crew see the balloon move across a live map — with trail, altitude, and beautiful balloon icon.
Features
Three wind scenarios modelled before you even inflate. Powered by Claude AI.
Background GPS on Flutter with screen wake-lock. Never goes dark mid-flight.
Photo your envelope — Claude Vision generates a unique SVG balloon icon for your marker.
Animated particle wind from Open-Meteo overlaid directly on the map.
Drop a pin anywhere on the map. Live distance and ETA update as you fly.
Every flight automatically logged — duration, distance, max altitude. Always ready.
Mark hazard zones in real time. Shared instantly with all pilots in the sky.
Native Android cockpit for pilots. Browser-based observer view for everyone else.
Pricing
Core features, always free. Because pilots should fly, not subscribe.
