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

Free global intelligence dashboard · live now. Headlines are the lag. World Monitor streams the world's raw signals — ships, jets, sirens, cables, markets — onto one live map, with AI that flags when they converge into something that matters.

2M+ users · Open source · AGPL-3.0. Launch the dashboard — Free · No signup · Loads in seconds.

This page is plugged into the same APIs as the dashboard.

Four of the hundred-plus signals World Monitor watches around the clock.

Top signals · Instability index · Maritime chokepoints · Markets

Four moments where minutes matter.

How teams run it — on signals the platform watches around the clock, with what's free and what's Pro marked at every step.

The surge before the statement

For analysts, OSINT & newsrooms.

Military airlift and tanker activity in the Pacific theater runs 3× its 48-hour baseline. Taiwan turns focal: in the headlines and in on-map signals at once. Hotspot trend: escalating. One click: the country dossier — instability score, live signals, 7-day timeline, prediction-market odds. The breaking banner fires — only when independent origins corroborate. You cite the signal, not the rumor.

Bab el-Mandeb chokes at 05:58. You're briefed by 06:15.

For supply chain & energy ops.

Vessel density in the strait drops ~40% under its rolling baseline. The Ships layer flags it. The chokepoint card flips to disrupted; Yemen's instability index climbs on converging signals. You run the closure scenario: most-exposed countries, ranked. Route Explorer prices the Cape of Good Hope detour in days and cost. Leadership briefed — with exported impact tables, not screenshots of headlines.

The cable everyone googles tomorrow

For infrastructure & risk teams.

A subsea cable reports damage. You click it on the map instead of opening twelve tabs. The dependency graph — 350 cables, pipelines, ports and chokepoints — propagates the failure three layers deep. You see which countries lose redundancy and which alternate routes absorb the load, at what capacity. Assessment exported as JSON, CSV or PNG and in front of stakeholders.

The sector turns red. You ask the map why.

For traders & market watchers.

92 exchanges, futures and crypto on screen — next to the geopolitics that moves them. A keyword trends across independent feeds while a sector heatmap turns red. Coincidence is now checkable. You ask WM Analyst what's driving the move — it answers from the live feeds, with citations. Next morning your AI digest lands in Telegram — so the day starts pre-briefed.

No desk required. Most people just open it and poke the map — here's what your first five minutes look like ↓

Your first five minutes on the live map.

No tour, no empty states, no signup wall. This is what actually happens.

The map is already moving
Conflicts, vessels, flights, fires and outages render as the page loads. Nothing to configure first.
Click any country
A full dossier opens: instability score with its components, an AI brief with cited headlines, active signals, a 7-day timeline.
Hit ⌘K / Ctrl-K
154 commands. Jump to any layer, panel or country without learning the UI first.
Pick your lens
World, Tech, Finance, Commodity, Energy or Happy — same engine, six tuned monitors, one click apart.
You've seen maybe a tenth of it
The rest surfaces as the world moves — satellite passes, GPS jamming, dark ships, protest clusters, siren alerts.

The depth is the product.

Every number below is live in the dashboard today — not a roadmap.

56 Map layers · 500+ Curated feeds · 65+ Data providers · 13 Chokepoints · live AIS · 31 Instability index · live · 196 Resilience rankings · 86 Subsea cables · 88 Pipelines & LNG · 313 AI datacenters mapped · 29 Scored hotspots · 92 Exchanges & assets · 39 MCP tools · 154 ⌘K commands · 24 Languages · RTL incl. · 5 Independent alert origins

Satellite tracking
Live orbital positions computed in-browser with SGP4 — watch ISS, Starlink and military birds overhead.
GPS jamming zones
Live RF-interference map showing where GPS is being degraded or spoofed right now.
Chokepoint transit intel
Vessel counts through Hormuz, Suez, Bab el-Mandeb and 10 more straits — with disruption scoring.
AI datacenter map
313 AI datacenters mapped with power and operator metadata — the physical layer of the AI race.
Submarine cables
86 undersea cables that carry the internet, overlaid with outage and threat signals.
Protest tracking
Dual-source protest detection with cross-source deduplication — signal, not rumor.

Your AI can use it too — a 39-tool MCP server.

Everything on the map is also a tool. Point Claude — or any MCP-compatible agent — at World Monitor and it researches with live data instead of training-data memories.

39 MCP tools: risk scores, chokepoints, conflicts, markets, briefs · JMESPath projection on every tool — agents fetch exactly what they need · OAuth API with one key across 65+ upstream providers · Open source under AGPL-3.0 — read it, self-host it, build on it

Free is the observatory. Pro is the operations room.

The full dashboard is free — every layer, every feed, no signup. Pro adds the decision layer.

Fair questions.

Is World Monitor really free?
Yes. The full live map — every layer, 500+ feeds, country briefs, breaking alerts, all six monitors — is free with no signup and no trial clock. Pro pays for the feeds: it adds WM Analyst, the scenario engine, Route Explorer, scheduled digests and API access. No ads, and no account means there's no user data to sell.
What is a global intelligence dashboard?
A single live view that fuses signals most tools keep separate: conflict events, ship and aircraft tracking, shipping chokepoints, satellites, subsea cables, pipelines, markets and cyber threats — on one real-time world map, with AI scoring and briefs on top. World Monitor is a free one.
Where does the data come from?
65+ providers, named: ACLED and UCDP for conflict, AISStream for live vessels, OpenSky for aircraft, NASA FIRMS for fires, USGS for earthquakes, IMF, BIS, FRED and Finnhub for markets and macro — plus 500+ curated news feeds. Every panel cites its sources and timestamps inline.
Can I watch chokepoints like Hormuz or Bab el-Mandeb in real time?
Yes. 13 chokepoints are tracked with live AIS vessel counts, week-over-week transit change and disruption scoring — and density anomalies are flagged against each strait's rolling baseline.
How is this different from a conflict map like Liveuamap?
Conflict is one layer out of 56. World Monitor fuses conflicts with shipping, military flights, infrastructure, markets and cyber — then AI scores the convergence: instability indices, hotspot escalation, corroborated breaking alerts and daily briefs.
Why should I trust an alert?
A breaking banner fires only when independent origin types corroborate — news classification, keyword velocity, hotspot escalation, military surges, official sirens — deduplicated and rate-limited. Fewer alerts, real ones.
Can AI agents like Claude or GPT use it?
Yes. World Monitor ships a 39-tool MCP server, so Claude, GPT or any MCP-compatible agent can query live risk scores, chokepoint status, conflicts, markets and briefs — with JMESPath projection so agents fetch exactly what they need.
Do I need an account?
No. The dashboard works instantly with no signup. An account only matters when you upgrade to Pro or want settings synced across devices.
Is it open source?
Yes — open source under AGPL-3.0 on GitHub: read the code, self-host it, or build on it. Native desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux are available too, plus an Android TV app for wall displays.
