A Python Tkinter app that shows real-time flight information overhead for a specified location using the Flightradar24 public API.

Setup

1. Clone the repo and cd into the directory.
2. Create a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate
   

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Set your bounding box in .env:

   BOUNDS_BOX=64.5,64.3,-5.3,-5.0
   

5. Run the app:

   python app.py
   

Notes

• This app uses an unofficial Flightradar24 API and may be rate-limited.
• On macOS, Tkinter UI may be blank due to system Tk issues. Use python.org Python for best results.
