## What is Blixtra?

See lightning across Sweden as it happens.

Blixtra turns live lightning data into a clear, native map. Follow new strikes, understand their strength and explore recent activity without unnecessary clutter.

• Follow live cloud-to-ground and in-cloud strikes across Sweden
• See new strikes pulse on the map, with haptic feedback on supported devices
• Open a strike for its exact time, nearest place, peak current, strength and polarity
• Understand kA and polarity with clear, plain-language explanations
• Replay the latest three hours and choose your playback speed
• Enjoy a focused Apple-native experience on iPhone and iPad
• Use the complete app in English or Swedish

Whether a storm is approaching or you are simply curious about the sky, Blixtra makes Sweden’s lightning activity easy to explore.

Lightning is dangerous. Blixtra is an informational visualization and must not be used as a safety, warning or emergency service. Follow guidance from local authorities.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6 — 2026-08-24

- Siri and Shortcuts: ask whether there is lightning near you without opening the app
- Strikes per minute is now an average instead of a count of the last minute
- The nearest place is spelled out, for example "26 km away from Tierp"
- The largest towns in Norway, Denmark and Finland are included, so strikes there are named after somewhere closer
- Better support for wider screens that better use the space that is available
- A selected strike no longer ends up behind the information card

### 1.5 — 2026-08-03

We fixed the radar image for rain, since it was flipped upside down & inside out and shaken all around. And that's not how it should be.

### 1.4 — 2026-07-21

Minor bugfixes

### 1.3 — 2026-07-20

minor bugfixes and a clearer app icon
