## What is ActiveAurora?

ActiveAurora tracks the aurora in real time and tells you when to look up.

Set your location once and ActiveAurora does the watching for you. When geomagnetic activity climbs near you, it sends a push alert, so you do not have to keep checking.

Key features:
- A live activity dial showing current conditions at a glance
- Instant push and email alerts the moment activity rises near your location
- Forecasts so you can plan your night ahead
- A map of current aurora activity
- Detailed data and charts for the metrics that matter
