Project Overview

A mobile companion app for drone pilots that provides real-time telemetry overlay, live GPS tracking, device connectivity via Bluetooth/UWB, and flight session recording with video and log management.

The Problem

Drone pilots need real-time telemetry data during flights but switching between apps or looking at separate displays is dangerous and inconvenient. There's no unified solution for connecting to drone hardware, displaying live telemetry, and managing recorded flight data.

Our Solution

PiroDrone provides an all-in-one companion app with customizable telemetry overlay that stays on screen during flights, seamless Bluetooth/UWB device connectivity, real-time map tracking with distance and signal monitoring, and organized file management for videos and logs.
