Background Service: A dedicated foreground service monitors the skies 24/7, even when the app is closed.

Privacy-First: No data collection. All calculations happen locally on your device.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING PERMISSIONS:
To provide reliable real-time alerts, this app requires specific permissions:
