Auroral

One clear score each night tells you if the aurora is worth heading out for — and Auroral stays quiet when clouds would ruin the view.

Auroral turns four messy data sources into one honest answer: is it worth going out tonight?

Most aurora apps shout "high activity!" while you're standing under a solid deck of cloud. Auroral doesn't. It combines aurora strength, cloud cover, moonlight and sky darkness into a single 0–100 viewing score — and it only alerts you when the sky is actually clear enough to see anything.

ONE CLEAR VERDICT A single nightly score and plain-language call — go out, worth a look, or not tonight — built from live aurora, weather and darkness data for your exact location.

CLOUD-AWARE ALERTS Notifications fire only when conditions genuinely line up. No false alarms on cloudy nights. This is the whole point.

PLAN THE WEEK A 10-night outlook so you can pick your night, plus a live map of the aurora oval to see where the lights are right now.

BUILT FOR THE FIELD Night-vision red mode keeps your eyes dark-adapted while you're out. The entire app speaks 11 languages.

BOTH HEMISPHERES, ANYWHERE Northern lights or southern — check any city on Earth. No account, no sign-up.

DATA YOU CAN TRUST Aurora activity from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center, cloud forecasts from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (Met.no), plus light-pollution and moon-brightness modelling.

Auroral is free with a single small banner on the dashboard — a one-time purchase removes it forever. No accounts, no sign-up, and your location is used only to fetch your forecast.
