Don't Miss The Show

You Keep Missing Displays

You're constantly refreshing free aurora apps, checking forecasts, and trying to interpret confusing data. Meanwhile, the northern lights are dancing overhead right now. By the time those apps update, the show is already over.

Free Apps Let You Down

Free aurora apps only use basic NOAA Ovation data with 500km accuracy. They send push notifications that your phone blocks, require constant app updates, and can't wake you up when something spectacular is happening.

You Want to Actually See the Lights

You didn't move to a prime aurora viewing location or plan that expensive trip to keep staring at your phone. You want to be outside experiencing the lights, not inside wondering if tonight's the night.

Aurora Alerts Simplified

Aurora Admin watches the sky for you using a cutting edge algorithm to alert you when there's a truely spectacular show. You get an SMS text to your phone when auroras are visible at your exact location with 100km accuracy. No app to download. No internet connection needed. Just grab your coat and go outside.

Your phone becomes your personal aurora assistant.

Built by Aurora Chasers; For Aurora Chasers

Aurora Admin started because we kept missing the northern lights. We'd check apps all evening, see nothing promising, go to bed, and wake up to social media posts of incredible displays we slept through.

We built something better. A system that watches for us and only alerts when it matters at our exact location. Our friends tried it and never went back to free apps.
Word spread through our aurora chasing community. What started as a tool for our friend group now helps aurora watchers across 40+ countries catch displays they would have otherwise missed.

We're not trying to be another free app with annoying ads and basic data. We're a reliable alert service for people who actually want to see the lights, not just check forecasts.

Aurora Admin Forecasting FAQ

When you're wondering how Aurora Admin is different from free aurora apps, the answer is simple: we help you actually catch the displays instead of missing them. Free apps use only basic NOAA Ovation data with 500km accuracy and send push notifications your phone blocks. Aurora Admin combines 7+ real-time data sources for 100km hyper-local accuracy and sends SMS alerts that work on any phone without an app. You get notified on average 30 minutes earlier with alerts that won't be blocked by Do Not Disturb mode. Set our alerts number as a priority contact to over ride your Do Not Disturb Mode and you'll actually receive the alert when it matters.

Aurora forecasting has inherent uncertainty due to the unpredictable nature of space weather. Our alerts are based on real-time data from multiple space weather instruments and aim to notify you when conditions are favorable at your specific location. While we can't guarantee every alert will result in visible auroras, we help maximize your chances of catching displays by notifying you when conditions improve. We've delivered over 480,000 accurate forecasts this year.

You typically receive alerts approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour before peak aurora visibility at your location. Our substorm detection can identify building activity even earlier, giving you time to get to a good viewing spot.
