Aurora Live is a generative visual studio for flowing light art. Open the app and a Metal-rendered field of aurora, nebula, plasma, and ink-like motion fills the screen. Tilt the device, paint with touch, react to live audio level when you choose Sound mode, and capture a high-resolution still or short loop when the composition lands.
Version 2.1 adds Composition Lab, a pro control room for intentional looks. The Lab scores the current composition, explains what is working, suggests improvements, and provides one-tap recipes for real aurora-inspired green glow, shareable still captures, desk-focus backgrounds, dim night glow, and lively fullscreen loops. Recipes tune palette, intensity, speed, calm motion, warmth, palette cycling, and wander drift together, so users can shape a purpose-built visual instead of guessing at sliders.
