Astraflare vs Lightning Tracker

Astraflare turns live space-weather data into a plain answer to one question: what's worth looking up for tonight? It fuses real-time feeds from NOAA SWPC, NASA DONKI, NASA Helioviewer, USNO, CelesTrak, the Minor Planet Center and Open-Meteo with on-device astronomy — so aurora odds, clear-sky windows, solar flares, eclipse paths, satellite passes and conjunction alerts all live in one clean app. Built for aurora chasers, astrophotographers and casual sky-watchers. AURORA • Live Kp index and 3-day forecast • OVATION aurora-oval map with cloud-cover overlay • Tonight's-window card: a plain-English verdict combining twilight, Kp, moon, clouds and latitude • Bortle light-pollution hint for your spot • Photography assistant with camera recipes (ISO, shutter, aperture) tuned to conditions and a "leave by" countdown SOLAR • Live SDO imagery (AIA 171, AIA 304, HMI) and SOHO LASCO C2/C3 coronagraphs • X-ray flux chart, flare probability, recent-flares log • Solar wind — speed, density, Bz — on 12 h / 24 h / 7 d ranges • Sunspot number, F10.7, Solar Cycle 25 progress • Coronal-hole tracker and high-speed-stream events • CME tracking with a 3-D propagation orrery • NOAA R / S / G space-weather scales at a glance SKY • Moon phase, illumination, rise / set / transit • Civil, nautical and astronomical twilight windows • Planets tonight — rise / set, altitude, magnitude • Comets tonight from Minor Planet Center orbital elements • Visible satellite passes (ISS, Starlink and more) — computed on-device via SGP4, no server round-trip EVENTS • Solar and lunar eclipses through 2100 with local circumstances and path rendering • Meteor-shower calendar from IMO data — peak dates, ZHR, radiant altitude • Planetary conjunctions and planet parades • 30-day geomagnetic-storm history ALERTS • Live SWPC bulletins categorised by type (geomagnetic, flare, radiation, radio blackout) • Configurable push notifications — Kp threshold, minimum flare class, conjunction separation angle, planet-parade size, eclipses visible from your location • Background polling plus server-side push so you don't miss a short-notice event THE LITTLE THINGS • Share Tonight — one-tap 1080 × 1350 portrait card of your best sky event • Every on-screen term has an info button linking to a built-in glossary — nothing stays jargon • UTC or local time, your choice • iPhone-only, cached data works offline, no account required Astraflare is made independently by Eldwyn Labs.

KNOW BEFORE IT STRIKES BOLT tracks live lightning activity around your location and turns raw strike data into a clear answer to one question: is a storm coming toward you, and how close is it? BOLT is a subscription app. Every feature described below is part of BOLT Premium and requires a paid, auto-renewing subscription. There is no free version and no free trial. LIVE STRIKE MAP See real lightning activity plotted on a live map centered on you. Track distance and direction so you always know exactly where the danger is. RISK INSTRUMENT PANEL A precision-instrument risk gauge reads current conditions and a forecast timeline built on live thunderstorm data, giving you an at-a-glance read on how dangerous the next few hours look. MOVEMENT TRACKING BOLT compares multiple strike observations over time to detect whether activity is approaching, retreating, or holding steady, so you are not just seeing a snapshot, you are seeing a trend. PROXIMITY ALERTS Set custom alert distances for nearby lightning, approaching storms, high risk conditions, and severe activity. Quiet hours, haptics, and sound options let you tune alerts to how you actually want to be warned. SAVED LOCATIONS Monitor more than just where you are. Save home, work, a golf course, marina, campsite, or school, and get lightning alerts and risk information for every place you care about. STRIKE HISTORY Review strike activity over the last 1, 6, or 24 hours with a clear chart of nearby strikes over time, so you can see how a storm actually developed. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Add the Nearest Lightning widget to your Home Screen for the latest cached strike distance, recency, and risk state without opening the app. DESIGNED LIKE AN INSTRUMENT BOLT uses a dark, precision-instrument design inspired by automotive gauges, aviation radar, and titanium hardware, built to be read quickly and clearly in changing light. PRIVACY-RESPECTING BY DESIGN Location access is used only to calculate strike distance and bearing. BOLT does not request continuous high-accuracy tracking, and the app can be used with a manually selected location instead of your current one. BOLT PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION BOLT Premium is a paid, auto-renewing subscription offered as a weekly or a yearly plan. The exact price for your region is shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple Account settings. Whether you are heading out on the water, onto a golf course, into the mountains, or just want to know if it is safe to be outside, BOLT gives you a clear, immediate answer.
