Map
Every strike, colored by age.
The newest are red and white-hot, then orange and magenta, with a fading violet for the past hour. Radar sits underneath in the US. Scroll back through the hour, minute by minute.
Storms
Watch a storm happen.
Full-screen replays you swipe through. Your places' storms come first, then storms anywhere, each with how close it came and how many strikes a minute.
Hotspots
Where the planet is loudest.
A live heat field across the Americas, Europe and Africa, built from the strikes satellites just saw, plus the places struck most.
Compass
Point your phone at it.
The nearest storm's direction and distance, with your heading in degrees. Strikes from the last 10 minutes arrive around the dial.
Strike details
A feast of data on every strike.
Tap any strike for the satellite's own measurements: how long it took to reach us, how much light it gave off, how big it was, and which sensor saw it.

Alerts · Lightning Pro
Alerts where you are and the places you save. How many, how far.
Pick a distance for each place, from 1 mi to 200 mi. Each alert says how many strikes and how far. At most one every 30 min per place, so one storm does not ring all afternoon. Alerts can be late or missed.
Places
Your places, first.
Save the places you care about. Each has its own page: strikes within 25 mi by day, week, month and year, and its biggest storms.
Lightning Pro
Know when it’s close.
Free shows the lightning. Pro tells you when it is close: alerts where you are and at up to 10 places, each with its own how many and how far.
