ForeFlight Logbook Alternative

A logbook that's the main event, not a side feature.

ForeFlight is a great EFB. But its logbook is an afterthought — basic currency, no Android, and you can't use it without the full subscription.

What TallyAero does differently

A logbook that's the whole product. ForeFlight's logbook is a feature bolted onto an EFB. TallyAero's logbook is the foundation — with deep currency tracking, full endorsement management, and 8710 generation built from the ground up.

No $120-360/year tax for a logbook. TallyAero's personal logbook is free. You don't need to buy an entire EFB subscription to log your flights.

Works on Android. And Windows. And offline. ForeFlight is Apple-only. TallyAero works on every platform with offline-first architecture — 60+ database tables synced locally.
