Install Aurora Outpost.
Aurora Outpost is built as a Progressive Web App. Installing takes about 10 seconds and gives you proper push alerts, faster load, full-screen mode, and an icon on your home screen.
Aurora Outpost isn’t on the Apple App Store or Google Play. It’s a Progressive Web App, installed directly from this site. That means: instant updates (no waiting for review queues), no 30% platform tax (so the app stays free forever), and identical functionality across iOS, Android, and desktop.
Push alerts only fire from the installed app. On iOS, browser tabs are blocked from receiving push notifications entirely — an Apple platform restriction, not ours. If you want to be woken up when conditions are right, you have to install. Browser tabs work as a fallback but you’ll miss the alerts, which is most of why the app exists.

- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.

- Firefox doesn’t support PWA install on most platforms. The web app still works, but for the best experience use Safari (iOS), Chrome (Android), or Chrome/Edge (desktop).
