Aurora Alert

About

Catch the sky show before it starts! Aurora Alert sits quietly in your toolbar and pings NASA‑NOAA space‑weather feeds every few minutes, giving you instant, reliable heads‑ups when the Northern Lights might be visible from your location.

✨ What it does
Live badge indicator
A tiny number on the extension icon shows the current global Kp index. Gray (quiet) → yellow (unsettled) → red (storm). One glance and you know whether it’s worth stepping outside.
Real‑time push notifications
The second NOAA issues a G‑level geomagnetic alert or the Kp index crosses your threshold, Aurora Alert pops a desktop notification: “Aurora possible—look north!” No more refreshing websites.

Handy popup panel
Click the icon to see a rolling 3‑hour Kp chart, a quick‑read “Chance at my latitude” bar, and optional cloud‑cover map tiles—everything you need to plan a late‑night photo run.

Totally private, zero backend
All data is fetched directly in your browser from public JSON endpoints; nothing is logged, and no account or API key is required.
