Welcome to Indie App Spotlight. This is a weekly 9to5Mac series where we showcase the latest apps in the indie app world. If you’re a developer and would like your app featured, get in contact.

If you live in a earthquake-prone climate, you might be interested in a tool to help monitor them. QuakeInfo is a long-standing app on the App Store, and it’s recently been updated with a Liquid Glass design and new features.

Top features

Using data from both US and European databases, QuakeInfo can show you seismic activity from around the world. It puts the map view up front, making everything clear and easy to see. It also has a comprehensive list view, giving you info on each individual earthquake, down to the timing, magnitude, location, and depth. You can see how far you are from the epicenter, and a clear indicator of how far the earthquake is from populated areas. The app also offers Tsunami warnings.

QuakeInfo provides location-based safety warnings, spatial context, and detailed metadata on each individual earthquake – so you know what’s coming before it potentially hits you.

For data nerds, you can also scroll through up to a year of historical on previous earthquakes – which can be useful for making quick comparisons to ongoing earthquakes. Datapoints like magnitude, depth, and so on are available for learning your typical seismic patterns.

Download the app

QuakeInfo is available for free on the App Store for iPhone users running iOS 18.6 and later. For the full experience, you can purchase QuakeInfo Premium for $1.99/month or $9.99/year.

Michael Burkhardt's favorite gear

Anker 25K Compact Battery Bank

Featuring two built in cables, a built in display, multiple ports, a 25,000mAh capacity, and up to 100W of output - this is one of the best battery banks for recharging your entire Apple ecosystem on the go.

AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C)

AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C)

Despite a new version reportedly being around a corner, I still personally believe AirPods Pro 2 are a great deal. They're already equipped with USB-C, and continually gain new software features. With them consistently going on sale, it's a great purchase to make. Features like Adaptive Audio are incredible.
