Window SeatSearch

The whole thing

The cameras are free.
The knowing costs twenty dollars.

Every camera in Window Seat belongs to somebody who pays to keep it running, and they are free to watch forever. What you can buy is the part we built: a solar engine, an atmospheric model and a light forecast that together know when a sky is about to be worth stopping for, anywhere on earth, and tell you before it happens.

Coming with the app

One price, once a year. No monthly plan, no trial that expires while you are asleep, and nothing that was free yesterday moving behind the line tomorrow.

A camera never moves from the free side to the paid side. That is a promise, not a policy, and it is the reason the operators let us point at their work in the first place.
