Real format. Real data. Plus instant alert emails the moment conditions cross unhealthy.

A service, not another tool.

The data is public — that's how it should be. You're not paying for the data. You're paying for a service that watches it on your behalf, translates it into plain English, tailors it to your household, and emails you the moment it matters. AirScore is to checking air quality what a delivery service is to going to the grocery store: not a replacement for the source, just a way to stop having to go there.

A tool you check
You do the work, every day
  • You remember to open it. You navigate to the right page.
  • You read the number. You decide what it means for your household.
  • You miss days. You miss the surprise spike at 2pm.
  • You juggle three places — AQI here, smoke there, pollen elsewhere.
  • Generic guidance: "AQI 87." OK, now what?
  • If you forget, you lose the value entirely.

Built for people who'd rather not have to check at all

Air quality, automated.

AirScore is an automated air-quality service that watches three trusted government data sources around the clock for your zip code, then emails you a brief every morning and alerts you the moment something changes. You set it up once and never have to think about it again. The 7-day free trial lets you decide whether it's worth $5/month before paying anything.

👶 Parent of an asthmatic child You already check AirNow every morning before deciding whether the kids play outside. AirScore replaces that habit with one 7am email — and pings you instantly if PM2.5 spikes during the school day.
🏃 Outdoor athlete You train at 6am and don't want to find out at mile 4 that wildfire smoke rolled in overnight. The morning brief and instant smoke alerts give you the call before you lace up.
🌿 Allergy sufferer Tree, grass, weed, mold — each peaks on different days. The pollen breakdown in every brief shows you which one's bad today, so you can take antihistamines before stepping out, not after symptoms hit.

A note from the maker I built AirScore because I got tired of opening AirNow, NOAA's smoke maps, and a pollen app every morning before letting my family decide on outdoor plans — and even more tired of forgetting on the days when it actually mattered. AirScore is the automated email I wished existed: set it up once, then never check anything again. Have feedback or a story to share? Drop a note via the contact form →

Set it once. We do the rest.

AirScore runs in the background 24/7. You don't open an app, refresh a page, or remember to check anything. The only thing you do is sign up. From then on, your inbox does the work.

What the numbers mean

AQI is a 0–500 scale used by the EPA to communicate how clean or polluted your air is and what health effects might be a concern. Here's the scale we translate into plain English in every email we send.

🟢
0 – 50
Good
🟡
51 – 100
Moderate
🟠
101 – 150
Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
🔴
151 – 200
Unhealthy
🟣
201 – 300
Very Unhealthy
301 +
Hazardous
Good (0–50): Air quality is satisfactory and air pollution poses little or no risk.
Moderate (51–100): Acceptable for most, but unusually sensitive people may experience minor effects.
Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (101–150): Children, older adults, people with asthma or heart disease should reduce prolonged outdoor exertion. You'll get an alert at this level if you flag a sensitive household member.
Unhealthy (151–200): Everyone may begin to experience health effects. Sensitive groups should avoid outdoor exertion. Everyone gets an alert at this level.
Very Unhealthy (201–300): Health alert — everyone may experience more serious effects. Avoid outdoor activity.
Hazardous (301+): Health warning of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected.
Three sources. One daily email.

We watch the data so you don't have to

Staying on top of air quality usually means juggling three different websites — EPA's AirNow for AQI, NOAA's smoke maps for wildfire impact, pollen networks for allergens — and remembering to check them every morning. AirScore pulls from all three, combines them into one plain-English brief, and emails it to your inbox automatically. No tabs to refresh. No alerts to set up. No searching.
