OrbView
Watch every satellite overhead in real time, in 3D
OrbView launched on June 19, 2026 with 2 votes.
What it does
OrbView turns the invisible traffic overhead into a live 3D globe you can actually watch. Track the ISS, Starlink trains, science missions, and debris in real time. Then get told exactly when each one will be visible from where you're standing, down to the minute. Part planetarium, part live data feed, part "look up, it's right there" magic.
See what
Space stations, spy satellites, Starlink trains, and 6,000 objects you've never heard of — passing silently overhead. OrbView shows you exactly when to look up. Countdown, peak altitude, speed, duration, and viewing quality. Calculated for your exact location in real time. Every tracked object in orbit, rendered in real time. Tap any dot to see what's up there and when it'll pass over you. Get notified before any satellite crosses your sky. Set your lead time: 2 minutes or 15. Never miss a pass. Mark what you've spotted and build a streak. A personal record of everything you've caughtfrom orbview.app

Beautiful 3D ISS tracker with live video and near-realtime clouds2024 · iss.matteason.co.uk · ▲139This is a little hobby project that I hope you enjoy. You can see where the International Space Station is now, with live HD video from NASA, on a realistic 3D globe. The positions of the sun and moon are also accurate, though distances aren't to scale. The clouds are also near-realtime; I span that out into a separate project at https://clouds.matteason.co.uk, where the cloud images I create from EUMETSAT data are freely available. I've got more features almost ready to go, like the ability to turn off all UI, toggleable clouds and turning off the day/night cycle I'd love for…

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate).

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
