One aircraft at a time, whichever is most worth looking at. It changes every few seconds. There is nothing to operate, no app to keep open, no notifications.

Who it is. Green when the aircraft is in the part of the sky you can actually see from your window, amber when it isn't, so you know before you get up.
Distance and compass bearing, with an arrow showing the direction it's flying. Point yourself that way and you'll find it.
Alternates between where it's going and what it actually is: A220-300, 737 MAX 8, Cessna 172. White for the route, cyan for the machine.
Height and whether it's climbing or descending. When something is about to pass close, this is where the seconds tick down.
Most trackers list whatever is nearest. This one works out where each aircraft will be, so the jet about to cross your roof outranks the training flight parked at two miles. When something is going to pass close, the panel counts it down to the second, and you get to be looking up before it arrives.
Where you are, which way you face, your Wi-Fi, how far you care about. After that the instrument runs on its own.
The widget comes with the device. Away from your desk it points you at what's overhead: which way to turn, how high to look. It follows you while you move.
No fan, no beeping, no notifications. It sits there and glows, and you look at it when you feel like looking up.
It's smaller than the photographs suggest. About the size of a paperback, 16.5 cm across. One cable goes in the back and nothing else.
Built, tested and calibrated to your address. Plug it in and it works.

Rarely, and never to fill space. Where the project is, when the first batch ships, and the real price before anyone else. It is also the key that unlocks the files.
