Tail ID

Tail ID is the camera-first aviation identification app — the simplest answer to the question everyone asks around airplanes: what kind of plane is that? Point your phone at any aircraft, tap once, and instantly see a clean profile — registration, make, model, year, engine, horsepower, cruise speed, range, seats, owner where available, recent flight activity, photos, and videos. No aviation knowledge required. No login required for identification. The app uses AI vision (not just text recognition) so it still works when the tail number is angled, partially obscured, or the photo isn't perfect. KEY FEATURES • Point-and-tap aircraft identification, powered by AI vision • Reads the tail number even when it's small, angled, or partially hidden • Full aircraft profile — engine, performance, weights, dimensions, range • Owner and registration data where publicly available • Recent ADS-B flight activity, airport footprint map, monthly flight hours • Personal aviation logbook of every aircraft you've captured • Achievements for new makes, rare aircraft, or the first photo of an aircraft on Tail • Pinch zoom + stop pills, video mode, image stabilization, HDR • Auto-rotates the framing target with your phone — even when orientation is locked • 20-language UI (auto-detects your phone's language) • Part of the Tail family alongside TailExchange, TailPhotos, and TailVideos FOR • Pilots who want to know what's parked next to them on the ramp • Plane spotters who want a clean digital logbook • Airshow attendees cataloging dozens of aircraft in a session • Aircraft owners who want to see their plane's public flight history • Anyone who looks up and wonders what that was PRIVACY Tail ID asks for camera access (to identify aircraft) and optional location access (to suggest the most likely match by nearby airport). It does not sell your data, does not show ads, and does not track you across other apps. Full policy at https://tailid.app/privacy.
