Point at the storm and Lightning Counter times the flash to the thunder — see exactly how far each strike is, and whether the storm is moving in.
ow far away was that lightning?
Lightning Counter answers it in seconds. Point your phone at the storm — the
camera catches the flash, the microphone hears the thunder, and the app times the
gap with high precision to tell you exactly how far the strike was, in km or miles.
It's the classic "count the seconds between flash and bang," done properly:
precise timing, temperature‑adjusted speed of sound, and a clean, glanceable design.
WATCH A STORM ROLL IN — OR AWAY
• Automatic detection: a flash starts the timer, the thunder stops it.
• Manual triggers too, for when a strike is just out of frame.
• Every strike is saved and grouped into storms, with a distance‑over‑time graph
so you can see at a glance whether the storm is approaching or receding.
STORM MAP
• A live map centered on you, with a ring for each recent strike at its real
distance. As the rings shrink toward the center, the storm is closing in.
• Trigger and measure right from the map and watch the rings update.
STAY AWARE
• A full‑screen close‑strike alert (with a strong haptic and a notification) when a
strike lands within your chosen distance — 1 km by default, adjustable.
• A Live Activity puts the running count and last distance on your Lock Screen and
in the Dynamic Island.
BUILT FOR THE MOMENT
• Immersive "live" storm mode — prop the phone up and let it capture strike after
strike, hands‑free.
• Front or back camera (lay it on a table, screen up).
• Calibrate light and sound sensitivity with live meters.
• Beautiful dark, electric design throughout.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Everything happens on your device. The camera and microphone are analyzed in real
time and never recorded. Your location and strike history never leave your phone.
A note on safety: Lightning is dangerous. Lightning Counter is an informational tool,
not a life‑safety device — if you can hear thunder, you're within range. Seek shelter.
