Alerts that fit your life

Critical warnings you can't miss. Smart alerts you control.

Two layers of notifications - so you hear about the big one instantly, without being buzzed for every distant tremor.

Critical alerts

Major quakes & tsunami warnings

M7.2 earthquake - tsunami warning

now

Strong shaking expected. Move to higher ground if near the coast.

  • Fires for major-magnitude events and official tsunami warnings.
  • Breaks through silent mode for the events that truly matter.
  • Layered with the tsunami map so you can act, not just read.

Smart alerts

Tuned to your area & thresholds

M4.1 near Los Angeles, CA

2m

Matched your 'Home · M4.0+ within 100 km' rule.

  • Per-rule magnitude, region and distance - as many rules as you like.
  • 30-day fire history and sparklines show which rule keeps firing.
  • Quiet hours and per-rule muting keep the noise down.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is QuakeMate free?
Yes. QuakeMate is free to download from the App Store with no ads and no data resale. An optional Premium subscription unlocks advanced features but everything in the screenshots is available on the free tier.
Which earthquake data sources does QuakeMate use?
QuakeMate aggregates real-time feeds from public seismic agencies including USGS (United States), EMSC (Europe / Mediterranean), GSI (Israel) and tsunami.gov. Volcano data comes from the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program; tectonic plates are the Bird (2003) PB2002 dataset.
How fast are earthquake alerts?
Very fast - and faster than ever after our latest update. Push alerts now fire within seconds of the upstream agency publishing an event, instead of the tens of seconds it used to take. End-to-end speed depends on how quickly the source agency reports, but QuakeMate adds almost no delay of its own. It is informational and not a replacement for official emergency systems.
What are critical alerts?
Critical alerts are QuakeMate's highest-priority notifications, reserved for the events that truly matter - major-magnitude earthquakes and official tsunami warnings. When enabled, they can break through silent mode and Focus so you are woken or interrupted for a genuine emergency, even if the rest of your notifications are muted. This is a huge deal: it means the one alert you cannot afford to miss gets through.
What is the difference between critical alerts and smart alerts?
Critical alerts are for unmissable emergencies (major quakes and tsunami warnings) and can override silent mode. Smart alerts are the everyday notifications you fully control - set per-rule magnitude, region and distance so you only hear about the quakes you care about, with quiet hours and per-rule muting to keep the noise down. Together they make sure you never miss the big one without being buzzed for every distant tremor.
Can I get earthquake alerts only for my area?
Yes. Create as many smart-alert rules as you like, each with its own magnitude threshold, region and distance radius - for example "within 100 km of home, M3.5+". You get notified the moment a matching quake strikes, and nothing else.
What is Did You Feel It?
Did You Feel It (DYFI) lets you report what you felt during a quake - intensity, situation, observations and damage. Your report is aggregated with reports from your neighbours so everyone can see how the same event was experienced across the region.
Does QuakeMate work without an internet connection?
A connection is required to receive new earthquake data and push alerts. Recently loaded events and your settings remain accessible offline.
Is there an Android version?
Android is on the way! QuakeMate is built natively for iOS (iPhone and iPad) today, and the website at quakemate.app works on any browser. If you want QuakeMate on Android, join the waitlist at quakemate.app/android and we will email you the moment it launches.
Does QuakeMate cover tsunami warnings?
Yes. The Explore map shows active tsunami warnings, watches and advisories from tsunami.gov and regional agencies, layered alongside earthquakes that may have triggered them.
