For the families of airline crew

Know where your person is — and when they're home.

A calm, always-on display for your home. See where your pilot or flight attendant is in the sky, whether it's a good time to call, and when they'll be back — in plain language, never airline jargon.

The crewmember always controls what's shared.

The problem

Airline schedules are built for operations — not for the people at home.

Reserve assignments, reflows, delays, red-eyes, pairing codes. When someone you love flies for a living, the simplest questions are the hardest to answer:

  • Where are they right now?
  • Are they flying, resting, or at a hotel?
  • When's a good time to call?
  • When will they actually be home?
  • Did the schedule change again?
  • Is the flight delayed or rerouted?

What you'll see

A glance from the kitchen tells you everything.

TouchBase turns raw airline data into calm, human sentences on a beautiful ambient globe — reassuring for a partner, simple enough for a child.

Right now"Chip landed in Denver."Live position from the aircraft itself, updated automatically.
Rhythm of the day"Likely resting."Flying, commuting, at the hotel, or off — without decoding a pairing.
Connection"Best time to call: after 8:30 PM."So the kids catch them before bed, in their timezone.
The countdown"Expected home tomorrow."An honest arrival-home estimate the whole family can see.
When plans move"Schedule changed."Reflows and reassignments, translated into plain language.
The globeReal terrain, real routes, real sunlight.A museum-quality view of their flight. Beautiful enough to leave on all day.

How it works

Three minutes to set up. Zero jargon after that.

  1. The crewmember connects

    They import their airline schedule in one step and choose exactly what the family can see. Privacy stays in their hands.

  2. The display comes alive

    Place it in the kitchen or living room. The globe quietly follows every leg — takeoffs, layovers, hotels, rest.

  3. Home has a countdown

    Everyone can glance and know: where they are, when to call, and when the door opens again.

How it lives in your home

A premium wall display — that also travels in your pocket.

A ready-to-go ambient screen for the kitchen or living room, plus phone and web access when you're out.

Questions

The honest details.

Is this an invasion of my crewmember's privacy?

No. TouchBase is built crewmember-first: the person flying connects their own schedule and decides exactly what family members can see. Nothing is shared without their approval.

Where does the flight information come from?

Live position comes from the aircraft's own broadcast signal, combined with the crewmember's imported airline schedule. We're honest about certainty — the display clearly distinguishes confirmed, expected, and estimated information, and never shows false certainty.

Do I need to be technical to set it up?

No. The TouchBase Display is designed to work out of the box — plug it in, connect once, and leave it on the shelf. Phone and web access come with the connected plan.

Which airlines are supported?

We're starting with structured schedule imports and adding carriers based on where our founding families fly. Tell us your airline when you sign up and it helps us prioritize.

Is the pricing final?

Not yet — that's exactly what this page is helping us decide. The figures shown are our current direction, and founding families get first access and the best price.
