World Monitor
World Monitor is a free, real-time global intelligence dashboard that puts conflicts, shipping chokepoints, military flights, markets, infrastructure, and cyber signals on one live world map. It streams raw signals from ships, jets, sirens, cables, and markets onto a WebGL globe, then scores when they converge into something worth watching. Journalists, security analysts, traders, and researchers use it to read global situations faster than stitching feeds together by hand.
The product is built around correlation, not aggregation. Geopolitical pressure, maritime flow, macro repricing, and commodity spreads share one surface so you can see how a chokepoint slowdown might hit Brent before it becomes a consensus note. Country dossiers open with instability scores, cited AI briefs, active signals, and a seven-day timeline. Six specialized monitors (World, Tech, Finance, Commodity, Energy, and Happy) run on the same engine with tuned layer sets.
World Monitor is open source under AGPL-3.0, with native desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux plus an Android TV app for wall displays. The core map works instantly with no signup. Pro adds WM Analyst chat, scheduled AI digests, a scenario engine, Route Explorer, MCP and API access, and equity research workflows.
