Track your flight. Know the turbulence.
Live status, gates and delays, plus a turbulence forecast for every mile of the route — so you know what the air is doing before you board.
Your whole flight on one card.
Gates, delays, position over the ocean, the bumps ahead. FlyBud folds the whole flight into one calm story you can read in a glance.
Light chop mid-Atlantic around 14:20. Seatbelt-sign bumpy, not scary. Smooth into New York.
Flight tracking, turbulence, your aircraft, your logbook.
Not a wall of dashboards. The handful of answers you actually want between booking and baggage claim.
A turbulence forecast for your route
The same global weather models pilots plan around, read along your flight path at your flight's altitude, hour by hour.
Read more →Live tracking that admits what it doesn't know
Gates, delays, position over the ocean. And when the feed lags the sky, it says "probably in the air" instead of inventing a number.
Read more →Built for people who don't love flying
Plain words instead of aviation jargon. What the bumps are, how long they last, and why the wing is fine.
Read more →Every flight lands in your logbook
Routes, hours, aircraft and countries, adding up into a map of everywhere you've been.
Read more →Delay and gate alerts before the departure board.
Gate changes, delays and arrival times land on your phone as they happen, whether it's your flight or the one you're picking someone up from.
And when the data feed lags behind reality, FlyBud says "probably in the air" instead of pretending to know. A tracker that is confidently wrong is worse than one that shrugs.

Turbulence isn't a surprise. It's a forecast.
Pilots see turbulence charts before every flight. Now you do too. FlyBud reads the same global forecast models and maps them onto your route, hour by hour.

Updated every forecast cycle, for your route's actual altitude. Not a generic weather map.
"A few light bumps over the Atlantic, nothing to worry about. Smooth into New York."
Turbulence forecasts by flight
Every flight has its own page: the forecast for its next departure, the aircraft, the schedule. These were checked most recently.
The aircraft you are flying, and its record.
The exact aircraft flying you, how old it is, how many seats, what's under the wings. And its safety record, told the way a calm friend would tell it.
What plane am I flying? How safe flying really is The safety record of every common airliner
The safety record of every airliner you're likely to board
Drawn to the same scale. Tap yours for its record in plain, sourced numbers.
Airline safety records, airline by airline
Flying with any airline here is one of the safest ways to travel ever invented. For each: whether it has ever had a fatal accident, what happened if it has, and what changed after — every fact sourced.
Turbulence is uncomfortable, not dangerous. Now you can see why.
Half of the fear is not knowing. FlyBud tells you when the bumps are coming, how long they'll last and when they'll stop. "What was THAT?!" becomes "right on schedule."
- ✓Plain words, not aviation jargon. "Seatbelt-sign bumpy for about 20 minutes" beats "moderate clear-air turbulence, FL360."
- ✓Honest about uncertainty. Two forecast models run side by side, and when they disagree FlyBud says so instead of picking the scarier one.
- ✓There for the whole flight. The forecast downloads before takeoff and keeps working in airplane mode, at 38,000 feet, with no Wi-Fi.
Relax on board: a breathing pacer that needs no signal, no account and no data.
Every flight lands on your travel map.
Routes, aircraft, hours and countries, quietly adding up into the story of everywhere you've flown — and a globe you can spin, replay and share.
