CieloTrack
See what flies over your neighbourhood.
Drones sold in the US since September 2023 must broadcast Remote ID — a serial number, position, altitude, speed, and the operator's location — in the clear, on frequencies any ordinary radio can receive. CieloTrack listens for those broadcasts and puts them on a map.
Sign in
We email you a one-time link. There is no password to remember, and nothing to leak.
Not arriving? Check spam first. Some corporate mail filters reject sign-in links outright, and when that happens nothing we send can tell you so — say hello and we will sort it out another way.
Start with your Android phone
The quickest way in is the CieloTrack Receiver app — it turns a phone into a passive receiver and links itself to your account in a couple of taps, no hardware needed. A phone hears less than a dedicated receiver, but it is the fastest way to start seeing what flies over you.
Build a receiver
A Raspberry Pi, a Bluetooth adapter and a Wi-Fi adapter are enough to watch your own airspace. The software is open source, it receives only, and it transmits nothing.
