Neat. I wonder if this is solely generated from their array of distrbuted sensors, or if this is just another visualization tool using space-track.org's data.

It doesn't appear to include any objects in the GEO belt (which space-track does), so I'd guess it's just objects from LEOlabs's own sensors.

Im on my phone but you could probably look in the network requests panel of your browsers developer tools to see if any request is sent to space-track.org.

Side note: does anyone know of a good tool / app for looking at things like that on iOS ?

No network activity. Seems like it might update occasionally.

space-track has pretty aggressive rate limiting, so they'd probably download the catalog to their servers once a day or so and work off of that.
