Aurora turns raw forecast data into something you'd actually want to look at — frosted, glowing, and honest about what's coming.
Every screen is built around one idea: the sky is layered, so the interface should be too.
Cloud cover, precipitation, and light all render as translucent layers you can actually see through.
A dedicated readout for geomagnetic activity, for the nights worth staying up for.
One notification when it matters — a storm rolling in, or clear skies opening up — nothing else.
Forecasts tuned to your block, not your metro area, updated every ten minutes.
The app's palette shifts with the actual light outside — no two sunsets look the same.
Home-screen widgets that animate gently with real conditions, not just static icons.
I check Aurora before I check my regular apps now. The aurora index alone got me outside three nights this month.
Finally a weather app that doesn't scream at me. The quiet alerts feature is exactly the right amount of information.
The widget genuinely looks different every evening. It's the first app I've kept on my home screen for a year.
Free on iOS and Android. No account required to see your forecast.
