Aura

Know who it is before you look.

Edge lighting that tells you which app it is. Every app gets its own color and spot on the screen edge. Swipe the glow to peek.

Aura turns a sliver of your screen edge into a notification light. Every app you choose gets its own color and its own place on the edge, so you know who’s calling before you even look.

Most edge lighting flashes the whole border in one color. Aura lights only the part you pick: WhatsApp on the upper right, Gmail lower left, Messenger along the top. Your phone gets back a notification LED you can actually read.

Swipe to peek

Drag the glow inward and a small panel slides out with the notification and every other unread one from that app. Tap to open, swipe a row to clear, tap anywhere else to close. It works over any app, game or video.

Make it yours

  • Pick the color from a curated palette
  • Choose the edge and drag the glow exactly where you want it
  • Seven animations: Breathe, Aurora, Comet, Pulse, Ember, Neon and Wave
  • Apps sharing a spot split it automatically when both light up

Private and light

Aura has no internet permission. Notification text is read only for the apps you add and never leaves your phone. The glow only draws while a notification is active, so when nothing is lit, Aura is asleep.

Aura Pro

Free covers two apps with any color and position, the Breathe animation and the full peek panel. A one-time purchase adds unlimited apps, all seven animations, the lock screen glow and screen-off wake.
