AuroraMe — Know when to look up, not by luck
AuroraMe turns live space-weather and local sky conditions into a clear aurora forecast for tonight, with real-time alerts, KP index, NOAA/Ovation data, and a visibility map near you.
Why AuroraMe
- Built for "northern lights tonight" decisions — see None / Possible / Likely / Visible at a glance.
- Actionable insights, not raw charts.
- Privacy-first by design.
What You Get
- Now: concise status with the factors that drive it.
- Best Time Tonight: the exact hour with the highest chance to see the northern lights.
- Live Map: Ovation oval, KP index, cloud cover, darkness, and moon phase combined into one aurora visibility map.
- Smart Alerts: notifications when visibility spikes near you; thresholds, cooldowns, and Quiet Hours prevent night spam.
- 3-Day & 27-Day Forecasts: short windows for chasing plus monthly trends for planning.
- Tracker Tools: probability, storm activity, and recent changes as conditions evolve.
How It Works
- Blends NOAA SWPC (Ovation, Kp), GFZ geomagnetic data, and local weather (Open-Meteo, MET Norway).
- Models cloud cover, darkness, lunar light, and magnetic latitude to estimate visibility and trigger alerts at the right moment.
Locations & Privacy
- Save places worldwide or tap Use Current Location once.
- Change or remove locations anytime.
- Location is accessed only on demand — no background tracking.
Plans
- Free: 1 location, up to 3 alerts/day, 20-minute updates, “Tonight” view up to 12 hours.
- Premium: up to 10 locations, real-time updates, 72-hour forecast, advanced smart alerts, full map layers.
- Manage subscriptions in-app; Restore Purchases available on the paywall.
Example
- Add Fairbanks or Tromsø and enable "Likely Visible" alerts with Quiet Hours 02:00–08:00 — you'll get notified when KP, darkness, and low clouds line up so you don’t miss the show.
Notes
- Aurora visibility depends on many natural factors and can’t be guaranteed.
- Data sources may have latency; we surface that when relevant.
