Live from orbit

The planet is broadcasting.We tune you in.

Satellites 22,236 miles up see lightning as it strikes. Hurricane centers plot each storm, advisory by advisory. Almost all of it is public. Almost none of it reaches you as a feeling. We make the small, beautiful apps that change that.

The data

This is what satellites send.

A time and a place.One line for every strike.Hundreds a minute.

So we put each one on the map. Right where it struck.

Every dot you just saw is a real strike from the last hour. That’s what we start with: the planet’s live data. Then we make it something you can feel. If it doesn’t make you look up, it isn’t done.

Made into something you feel

Thunder becomes a distance.A storm becomes a direction.

Clear at a glance.Worth sharing.Starting with Lightning Near Me.

Thunder over dinner.

One look and you know how far it struck, which way, and how long ago.
A storm on the horizon.

Hold up your phone and turn.The compass locks on.Now you’re facing the storm.
Last night’s storm, again.

Storms plays it back strike by strike, so you see how close it really came.
Before you even ask.

Pick up your phone and your Home Screen already says it: how far, which way, just now.
