FlyBetter
Never miss an upgrade on American Airlines flights.

FlyBetter is a free macOS menu bar app that monitors American Airlines flight upgrade prices and sends notifications when prices drop below a user-defined threshold. It runs entirely on the user's machine with no account, no server, and no subscription required. The app checks prices every 15 minutes and displays full price history with charts.
The app runs quietly in the macOS menu bar, polling American Airlines upgrade prices every 15 minutes and triggering a native notification when the price drops below a user-set threshold.
