Fewer tabs. More aurora.
Aurora Outpost pulls space weather, cloud forecasts, light pollution maps, sighting reports, and field tools into one app. Laid out around how chasers actually decide whether to head out, where to go, and when.

⚠ INSTALL AS AN APP — HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Aurora Outpost is a Progressive Web App. Not in the Apple App Store or Google Play — you install it directly from this site. Push alerts only fire from the installed app (on iOS, browser tabs are blocked from notifications entirely). If you want to be woken up when conditions are right, install.
