Stowaway
Take the window seat on any plane or satellite in the sky
Flight trackers show you a dot on a map. Stowaway puts you in the seat. Pick any aircraft or satellite currently overhead and ride along, looking down at the real world passing below. The sky is physically based — real sun and moon positions, real stars — so the light matches what's actually outside your window right now. Share a link to any flight. Send your family the one you're on and they can watch out the window with you from home. Free, no signup, in the browser.
When I was a kid — back when travelling still felt new and exciting — I would see a plane crossing the early evening sky and try to put myself in it. Not to go anywhere in particular. I just wanted to know what the world looked like from up there, right then, to whoever was sitting by that window.
The feeling was strongest at sunset when I'd watch from the ground and think about how much better it must look up there from a perspective I could only imagine.
Travel has lost most of that. Airports, queues, delays: everything wrapped around flying has got steadily worse. But the flying itself hasn't changed. An hour into a clear evening flight, forehead against the glass, looking down at a world you almost never see from that angle, and it is still one of the quietly moving experiences I know.
Stowaway is that part, without the rest of it. Pick any aircraft or satellite actually passing over your house right now and go sit in its window seat.

Who hunted Stowaway?
Stowaway was hunted by Jim Heising. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.

Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
