WindUp for Paragliders

Paragliding is unforgiving on gusts. WindUp watches your launch site for steady wind under your gust ceiling and pings the moment it's flyable.

Tuned for 5–15 kt with low gusts
Why paragliding

What WindUp does for paragliding riders.

  • Hard gust ceiling (e.g. ‹20 kt) — alarm cancels if station spikes above it
  • Direction-aware: only alarm when wind is matching the launch face
  • Friend-mode: share alerts with your launch crew

WindUp is a free live wind alarm — set your paragliding wind window once and it watches your spot for you, even on Do Not Disturb or Silent.
