Independent app studio · Mississippi, USA

Software for people who work under the open sky. And for everyone who doesn't.

TimmyD Labs designs and builds apps for phones, tablets, the web and the hardware that connects to them. We started with drone pilots, aviators and summer camps. What we build next could be for anyone.

Our apps

Built for the field, used every day.

Our first apps keep people safe and informed when conditions change fast. Each one does one job and does it well, and that's how we approach every app.

Drone Pilot ADS-B

pilotADSB · Android and iOS

Live

Everything around your drone. On one map. Out loud.

Drone Pilot ADS-B puts the airspace around a drone pilot on one live map and speaks up when something needs attention. It shows manned aircraft, Remote ID drones, weather and the rules of the sky.

  • Nearby aircraft and Remote ID drones, with spoken callouts
  • NOAA radar, lightning and wind alerts
  • LAANC grids, TFRs and special use airspace
  • Towers, obstacles and power lines
  • Flight recordings, replay and live sharing on the web

The app is free. Live traffic comes from a pilotADSB receiver.

Boundary Watch

Live

Drone detection · inside pilotADSB

Draw a boundary around an event or a property. A pilotADSB receiver with Remote ID watches it and texts or emails your team when a drone shows up, with a live map to follow it. It comes in Event and Premises editions.

pilotADSB VFR Electronic Flight Bag

pilotADSB EFB

Coming soon

VFR electronic flight bag · Android and iOS

A flight bag for pilots of manned aircraft, built around the pilotADSB receiver. It shows traffic, airspace, weather and terrain, gives spoken callouts and draws airspace in profile.

CampAware: weather safety for summer camps

CampAware

In development

Camp weather safety · Android and iOS

Weather safety for summer camps. Staff get an alarm when a National Weather Service warning actually covers the camp, or when lightning comes close. The app also handles shelter assignments, headcounts and drill records.

Live

Receiver operating system · Raspberry Pi

The software inside every pilotADSB receiver. It decodes both ADS-B bands and Remote ID, and talks to the apps over Bluetooth and WiFi. It sends GDL90 to any EFB, keeps flight recordings and updates itself over the air. It's free, and it ships on every receiver.

How we build

Built carefully, tested for real.

TimmyD Labs is the app studio of Mid-South Drone Services, LLC. The same company flies commercial lidar, mapping and aerial imaging missions. Our first apps came from problems we had in the field, and we tested them there before anyone else saw them. We bring the same care to every app we build, whoever it's for.

  • Safety first, in real time

    Alerts have to arrive in seconds and be easy to trust, so we design for loud, clear and right over clever.

  • Hardware and software together

    We design receivers and the operating system inside them, so the apps and the hardware are tested as one system.

  • Every platform people carry

    Native-quality apps for Android and iOS, browser tools for the office, and cloud services behind them.

  • Any subject, same standard

    Aviation, weather, outdoors, business or something just for fun. If it should be an app, we'd like to build it well.

Let's talk.

Have a question about one of our apps, or an idea for a new one? Whether it's for the field, the office or the living room, send us a note and we'll get back to you.
