Release notes
We ship fast - this is how the firmware evolves, build by build. Newest at the top.
Currently shippingframeOS 3.58
A live flight-follow mode: select any flight and the frame features its journey, with on-device motion prediction between updates for smooth movement and a nudge the moment it's overhead. Building the responsive tracking engine now (see 3.58).
Reworked the flight-follow pipeline end to end: instant lock-on the moment a flight is selected (no wait for the next cycle), an adaptive poll cadence that tightens as the aircraft approaches, on-device motion prediction between updates so the progress reads smoothly, and a local hand-off that takes over the instant the flight enters your own sky.
Each frame now broadcasts a unique setup identity derived from its hardware ID, so multi-frame households pair cleanly and setup instructions match the exact network on screen.
Rebuilt the display state machine so the “quiet skies” scene renders only on a confirmed-empty result - never as a placeholder during a data gap. If something's overhead, you see it.
On-screen dwell time now scales with traffic density: multiple aircraft overhead cycle faster so a fast mover doesn't clear the window before its turn on the panel.
Enlarged the loop-task stack to 16 KB and hardened the boot path - a single firmware image now runs rock-solid 24/7 across every board revision.
Added a debounced offline state with an on-screen reconnect notice. Brief network blips are absorbed silently; only a genuine, sustained drop surfaces - and it recovers on its own.
Re-architected live-data ingestion to parse large payloads incrementally, slashing peak memory and eliminating slowdowns under the busiest skies (dozens of aircraft at once). The reliability backbone of everything above.
Exposed selectable refresh profiles for the black-and-white panel - fast refresh for responsiveness, deep-black refresh for maximum contrast and crisp type.
Event-driven alerting: an optional, uploadable chime fires once on a genuinely spottable overhead pass - quiet-hours-aware, cooldown-limited, off by default.
Full display and network quiescence overnight - lower power draw, no flashing in a dark room, and a clean resume in the morning.
Added an I2S amplifier path with synthesized two-tone chimes (no stored audio, no licensing surface) and full quiet-hours integration.
Every outbound request now carries a minimal, uniform footprint. The frame keeps to itself.
Over-the-air updates with dual-slot A/B partitions and rollback protection - so builds like these reach every frame safely, no cable required.

Every time we put a FlyFrame in front of people, the same thing happens: they go quiet, then they ask where to get one.

For the person who still looks up every time a plane goes over. You know exactly who you're buying this for.

It's the calmest thing on the wall and somehow the one everyone stares at. FlyFrame turns the sky over your home into living art.
