A fast, plain-English safe-to-fly checker for UK drone pilots. Local weather, wind at altitude, airspace, Kp and daylight, scored for the drone you actually fly.
Free on the App Store for iPhone, or use it in any browser.
It pulls live data from the same sources the paid tools use, then turns it into one clear verdict: Good to Fly, Fly with Caution, or Not Safe.
I built DroneFly for my own drone site surveys because every other tool was paid and buried the answer. Then I opened it up for everyone, free.
DJI Mini, Air, Mavic, Flip, Neo, Avata and Autel models built in, with limits set per drone. Flying something else? Add your own (or clone a built-in and tweak it) with its weight and wind rating, and it works out your UK category and what you're allowed to fly over.
The verdict is conservative by default. If you've accounted for a warning, for example flying at night with a lit drone and permission, turn that flag off and the verdict recalculates. Your choices are remembered per drone. Hard risks like rain and GPS storms ask first.
Get a nudge when conditions clear at your spot, a heads-up when they turn bad, and a morning summary of today's best fly window, so you're not refreshing the app all day.
Remembers your location and drone, so it loads straight to today's verdict. A 14-day outlook and an hour-by-hour fly window help you plan the fortnight, not just the next ten minutes.
Use your location or search a postcode. Save the places you fly most.
Choose a model or add your own. Limits and category adjust to match.
One clear answer, with every condition broken out so you know why.
The same verdict on iPhone, in the browser, and on Duo, where the navigation sits beside the content when the phone is open.

DroneFly helps you make a quick, informed call. It does not replace your own checks. Always confirm airspace and restrictions before you fly, and follow the UK CAA rules for your category.
