A free, open-source situational-awareness map watching the world live

By the time it's news, you already knew.

An AI reads 500+ news feeds so you don't.

It pulls from hundreds of curated sources across fifteen categories, and an AI turns them into a short brief the moment something actually matters. Not a push notification — an actual summary, with sources.

AI-written briefs, not raw headlines

Running locally takes one command.

Clone it, install it, and run it. No account, no API key. It even works fully offline using a local model, if you'd rather not send anything out.

no signup, no API key required

You're not waiting for the story anymore.

A normal headline shows up hours after something happens. This shows you the raw signal converging in real time, before it's a story anyone's written yet.

the gap it closes: hours, down to live

2 million people are already watching.

It's free, it's real, and it's not a side project — two million people use it, and Wired covered it. Five hundred plus feeds, fifty six map layers, all in one screen.

One person built this. Elie Habib.

This isn't a company. World Monitor is built and run by one developer, Elie Habib — two million users and a Wired feature, from one person's own open-source project. Try it this weekend.
