how it works
Every light is a real aircraft, in the sky right now.
Loftlit listens to the position, altitude and motion aircraft already broadcast as they fly. Each becomes a small point of light drifting over a soft map. Nothing is hunted down. You’re simply watching the sky the way you’d watch rain on a window.
Colour is altitude:low near the ground,midway through the climb,high in the cruise. When a route can be read with confidence, opening a light adds a small story: where it came from, where it is going, and whether it is climbing or coming home. When the sky does not know, Loftlit stays quiet.
- Afterglow
- departed flights leave slowly fading trails — the sky’s memory
- Bloom
- each aircraft gathers into a small, wool-soft cloud of light, bright at its heart
- Air
- a faint drift that follows the real winds aloft
The sky follows the light: cloud-milk by day, blue hour after dark, so it can stay open while you study, work, or fall asleep. For wonder, not navigation.
