FlagPole
For people who fly it right
A flag worth putting on your home screen.
FlagPole draws an accurate American flag for your home screen. Then, every morning that matters, it tells you whether it flies full-staff or half. No eagles. No guesswork.
One email, the day it lands on the App Store. Nothing else.
Make it yours
An accurate flag, framed your way.
Thirteen stripes, fifty stars, the official red and navy, drawn to the right proportions. The flag itself, not a sticker of it.
Pick a frame and a size in the Studio, and your saved look carries straight to the home screen. Small, medium, or large, the flag fills the widget the way you set it and the proportions never bend.
Lock screen widget
Answered before you unlock.
Add the widget to your Lock Screen and the day's answer is there the moment you glance down, no app to open.
The next flag day sits right beneath it, with the date. One look on your way out the door and you already know how the flag should fly.
The almanac
Some days the flag comes down. FlagPole knows which.
Open it and the first thing you see is today: full-staff, or half.
Behind that sits every federal flag day, all year, with the rule for each. Memorial Day is half-staff until noon, then up again. Patriot Day is half from sunrise to sunset. The ones most of us get a little wrong, in language you can actually repeat, all of it drawn from the U.S. Flag Code.
Thursday, June 18
No federal half-staff observance is listed for today.
A few that are coming
- Patriot DayHalf-staff from sunrise to sunset. Sep 11
- Pearl Harbor Remembrance DayHalf-staff from sunrise to sunset. Dec 7
Every rule traces back to the U.S. Flag Code and standing federal proclamations.
Flag-day reminders
A nudge the morning it matters.
Turn on reminders and FlagPole tells you when a flag day arrives, and what it asks of the flag.
Quiet through the ordinary days, then a single notification when the flag should move, with the reason named and the rule attached. The rest of the year it stays out of your way.
The flag belongs to everyone. So we drew it the careful way: right proportions, honest color, the rule named when it matters.
Pride shown with restraint. That is the whole idea.
