The Mac landscape
Most flight trackers don't take Mac seriously. The good news: a couple now do.
- FlightyFlow for Mac (Catalyst) — full app, runs as native window, mirrors iCloud trip board.
- Flighty for Mac (Catalyst) — full app, similar approach.
- FlightAware web — works fine but is a website.
- Flightradar24 web — fine, ad-heavy.
Why a Mac app matters
If your trip planning happens at a desk — booking, comparing, scheduling family pickups — the Mac app turns the laptop into your trip command center, with notifications mirrored from your iPhone via Continuity.
