Before you look up

A few good questions.

More help
Do I need to be in the Arctic?

No. Blika checks your local sky wherever you are. Northern locations see aurora more often, but strong storms can bring the lights much farther south.

Is Blika free?

Yes. Your local verdict and its reasons are free. The eight dashboard cards and Home Screen widgets are an optional one-time unlock.

Will it notify me when the lights are out?

Not yet. Open Blika to check the latest conditions. Aurora notifications are planned for a future update.

Why does it need my location?

Your forecast depends on the sky where you are. Location is used for local clouds, darkness, aurora activity and your place name. Read our privacy policy for the details.

Some nights are worth
stepping outside for.

Let Blika help you find yours.
