Boosted Mode is the more advanced transit checker. It uses 3D geometry to compare the aircraft’s real position in the sky with the Sun or Moon, instead of relying only on a simple angle check.
It looks at the aircraft’s track, altitude, climb or descent, distance from you, data quality, and the apparent size of the Sun or Moon. This helps separate real transits, grazing passes, near misses, and loose sky candidates.
For serious transit hunting, use a small margin like 0.5°–2.5°. Wide margins such as 6°–20° are mainly for broad sky searching, not confirmed transits.
Email alerts follow the selected Transit Mode. This page must stay open for alerts to send. To avoid spam, alerts are grouped into one email when multiple aircraft are detected at once. Your email address is saved only in this browser and is not stored by Transit Chaser. Please check your spam or junk folder, as alert emails may occasionally end up there.

Transit Chaser has become expensive to keep online. If the app has helped you, a quick follow on Instagram genuinely helps spread the word and keep the project growing.
