Description

Type the flight number on the watch. No hunting through the phone app: two letters, up to four digits, done. It stays until you change it.

Meet Flyn — your flight companion.

Three pages, in the order you travel. Before the flight — the gate in large type, terminal, departure time, countdown, delay. In flight — time remaining, a segmented progress bar, arrival time, flight time. At the destination — temperature, weather, local time, baggage belt, arrival gate. The app opens on the page that matches the current phase of your flight.

It tells you when something changes. Your flight goes into the Pebble timeline as a pin, carrying two reminders: two hours and thirty minutes before departure. Those buzz on their own, without the app running. If the gate, terminal, status, baggage belt or a time changes by more than five minutes, the pin goes out again and the watch lets you know — even with the app closed. Countdowns and progress deliberately don't count as changes: they move on every fetch and would be noise, not news.

You bring your own API key. Flight data costs money. Flynformer uses aviationstack, whose free tier allows 100 requests per month.
