About Arounded

A clearer view of what's around you

Arounded is a free, transparent map for understanding the environment around the places you care about — and how it changes over time. Wildfire smoke, air quality, heat, and nearby facilities, drawn from public data sources you can verify.

Why it exists

Context beats a single number

Most tools show you a single number for right now. Real decisions — when to spend time outdoors, whether a neighborhood fits your family, what's being built nearby — need context over weeks and months, not just a snapshot.

Arounded focuses on that context: consistent daily signals, clearly-sourced layers, and a change log so you can see what moved and when.

The layers

What's on the map

Wildfire smoke

Daily satellite smoke plumes.

Air & weather

AQI, PM2.5, conditions, and monitoring stations.

Data centers

Proposed & operating sites, by status.

Facilities & power

Regulated sites and power plants nearby.

What we stand for

Our principles

Transparent by default

Every layer names its source so you can check it yourself. See the methodology.

Free and open access

The core map is free, with no account required to explore.

Privacy-respecting

We don't sell your data or track you across the web. Read our privacy policy.

Arounded provides informational environmental signals. It is not medical advice and not an emergency alert system. For urgent health or safety decisions, use official local and federal guidance.
