About AuroraMe
The aurora forecast app that actually tells you when to go outside.
The Problem We Solve
Most aurora apps show you a Kp index number and leave you guessing. "Kp is 5... but is that enough for my location? What about clouds? Is it even dark enough?"
AuroraMe answers one question: "Will I see aurora tonight at my exact location?"
We combine 5 factors that determine aurora visibility:
- Kp index — geomagnetic activity from NOAA
- Cloud cover — real-time weather data
- Moon phase — bright moon washes out faint aurora
- Darkness window — aurora invisible during twilight
- Magnetic latitude — determines your Kp threshold

Nikolai Iakubovskii
Founder & Lead Developer
Full-stack engineer who built AuroraMe's real-time pipeline, which pushes 30,000+ subscriber alerts every 15 minutes from 9 NOAA data feeds. After missing aurora displays due to scattered forecast tools, he designed a 5-factor prediction model that combines Kp index, cloud cover, moon phase, darkness, and magnetic latitude into a single clear answer. The app now serves 60,000+ active users in 37 languages.
