Real air traffic over Ibiza · radar sweep · live METAR · every 10 seconds
Authentic traffic
Position, altitude, speed and heading of every aircraft, received over the air in real time by an ADS-B receiver in Ibiza.
Live METAR
The official weather report from Ibiza airport (LEIB) types itself out, letter by letter, every time it updates.
Just one URL
It is a web page. Your screensaver simply shows it full screen — no proprietary apps, no accounts.
Free, open-source app. Grab it from its
GitHub releases page
(the latest .zip).
Unzip and double-click WebViewScreenSaver.saver. If macOS blocks the app,
go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway".
System Settings → Wallpaper → Screen Saver → select
WebViewScreenSaver → Options → untick "Fetch URLs Remotely" →
in the Addresses table, click Add URL and paste the URL below.
If you have more than one monitor, enable "Show on all displays" next to the preview.
Free, open-source app. Download the "installer" version (not the Microsoft Store one) from rocksdanister.github.io/lively. That way the screensaver runs without keeping the app open.
Open Lively → click + → Webpage/URL tab → paste the URL below → add it.
Lively settings (gear icon) → Screensaver tab → enable "use current wallpaper as
screensaver". To see it in the native Windows screensaver dialog, also install the
.scr from that same tab.
Build your own radar screensaver
All the code is published on GitHub under the MIT license: the radar page (configurable coordinates, range, labels, locale…) and a tiny dependency-free Python server.
All you need is an ADS-B receiver running readsb or dump1090-fa
(any Raspberry Pi with an RTL-SDR dongle works — if you already feed FlightRadar24 or FlightAware,
you have one) and Python 3.
Yes — the page loads from a server in Ibiza every time the screensaver kicks in, so the machine needs to be online at that moment.
No. Neither the radar nor the recommended apps (WebViewScreenSaver, Lively Wallpaper) ask for registration or charge anything.
Yes — open radar.html and go full screen (F11 on Windows, ⌃⌘F on Mac), no install needed.
Yes, without exception: positions, altitudes and speeds come from the station's real ADS-B receiver, and the METAR is the official LEIB report at all times.
