New iOS app gives creators a way to make announcements and captions look—and sound—like a classic airport departure board

SAN FRANCISCO, April 9, 2026 SplitFlapSend™, a new app for iPhone, lets users create animated split-flap display messages and instantly turn plain text into nostalgic, satisfying video or GIF content. Inspired by the iconic mechanical letter boards once seen in airports and train stations, the app brings a retro flip aesthetic to modern sharing and messaging, with realistic animation and sound designed to stand out on social media.

With SplitFlapSend, users can choose from a library of preset phrases or create a custom message of up to 48 characters.
