Free forever. Funded by chasers.

Aurora Outpost is free for everyone — no ads, no paywalls, no tiers. If the app’s helped you chase, throw a few bucks at the Outpost.

It’s a one-person project. I cover all the running costs out of my own pocket so the app stays free for everyone — donations are what makes that sustainable.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES

Things donations help cover:

Maintaining the pipeline
Backend computation for predictions, forecasts, and modeling
High-frequency cloud forecast updates
App hosting + database
Email + push alert delivery
Expanding community features (friends, sightings, photo sharing)
Dev time on new features chasers have asked for

THE NIGHTS ARE WHY WE DO THIS.

OTHER WAYS TO SUPPORT

Don’t want to donate but still want to help? Shop the Field Kit — affiliate links to the gear I actually use for chasing. Costs you nothing extra; a small percentage comes back to the Outpost.
