Set a budget and get alerted when flights get cheap
I kept obsessively checking Google Flights hoping prices would drop. So I built Descent, set a budget for any route, and get alerted the moment fares go below it. It tracks business/economy class, direct flights, multiple currencies, and passenger count. The fun part: Descent Copilot lets you create alerts by just saying “Cheap flights to Tokyo in August under 150 euros”, powered by Apple Intelligence, fully on-device. Free to try. Would love your feedback!
Hey everyone! I’m Pietro, the solo indie dev behind Descent.
I built this because I was tired of obsessively checking Google Flights hoping a fare would drop. I wanted something simple: set a budget, get notified when the price goes below it. That’s it.
I started with an ugly proof-of-concept to make sure the idea actually worked, then shipped a polished version based on community feedback. Business class filtering, direct-only flights, passenger count, multi-currency, all features users asked for.
The part I’m most excited about: Descent Copilot. You can create alerts using natural language, just say “Cheap flights to Tokyo in August, direct only, under 150 euros” and it’s done. It runs entirely on-device using Apple Intelligence. No cloud, no subscriptions needed for that.
The app is free to download and use. I’d love to hear your feedback, and curious: what’s the first route you’d track?
