Discover hidden messages at real locations. Drop Auras for friends to find, chase daily rewards, unlock time capsules, and claim exclusive offers from local businesses.
AURA turns the world around you into a digital treasure map. Using your phone's camera and GPS, you can discover hidden messages — called Auras — left by other users at real locations. Drop your own Auras for friends or strangers to find, collect rewards, and explore your surroundings in a completely new way.
OPEN YOUR VIEWFINDER
Point your camera and watch as glowing orbs appear in front of you. Walk closer to collect them and reveal the message inside. Each Aura is tied to a real GPS location — a park bench, a coffee shop, a street corner — waiting for someone to discover it.
DROP AURAS ANYWHERE
Leave a message at your current location for others to find. Choose who can see it — make it public for anyone, private for specific people, or visible only to your followers. Add photos or videos to make your Auras stand out. Set a price in credits or give them away for free.
EXPLORE THE RADAR
Switch to the map view to see Auras nearby. Spot regular Auras, golden Chase Auras, and red sponsored deal markers from local businesses. Plan your route and go hunting.
PLAY THE CHASE
Every day, a new set of 30 Chase Auras appears within 10km of your location. Race to find them all, earn XP, climb the leaderboard, and unlock badges. Each Chase Aura contains a unique reward — it's a daily reason to get outside and explore.
EARN AND SPEND CREDITS
Build up your wallet by collecting Auras and completing challenges. Spend credits to unlock premium Auras from creators, or purchase credit packs to support your favourite content makers.
CLAIM REAL-WORLD DEALS
Local businesses and brands drop sponsored Auras with real discount codes and offers. Spot the red markers on your radar, walk to the location, and claim exclusive deals you won't find anywhere else.
LEVEL UP YOUR PROFILE
Earn XP from every Aura you collect and every challenge you complete. Unlock badges across multiple categories, customize your profile, and build your collection album for bonus rewards.
CONNECT WITH OTHERS
Add contacts, share private Auras with friends, and follow creators to see their exclusive content. AURA is a new way to stay connected — not through a feed, but through the places you go.
Your city is full of hidden messages. Open AURA and start discovering.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Major visual overhaul for all aura types:
Standard auras now feature a glassmorphic sphere with 3D lighting and a rotating icon that adapts to the message type — envelope for text, camera for photos, video camera for videos.
Connection auras glow with a green glass sphere containing a scroll and quill icon with neon glow effects, plus a media-adaptive icon on the scroll.
Time capsule auras have a completely new holographic capsule design with animated aurora plasma, hardware caps, an inner hourglass with floating diamond shards, and time dust particles.
Sponsored auras from local businesses now display as a cyberpunk hexagon with red plasma effects, tech UI brackets, an animated scanner sweep, and energy sparks. Company names are shown more prominently.
Chase auras have been rebuilt with an electrifying lightning shield, a flickering central bolt, spinning energy rings, and erratic electric sparks.
Performance improvements across all animated aura visuals.
