World Monitor

Overview

World Monitor is a free, open-source (AGPL-3.0) real-time global intelligence dashboard. It streams 468 news and OSINT feeds from 815 attributed providers onto one live world map with 59 map layer types spanning geopolitics, markets, shipping, aviation, and cyber. It correlates signals so converging events can surface before headlines, and it cites sources and documents methods.

Key Features

• 468 news and OSINT feeds from 815 attributed providers, with sources cited on every panel.
• Correlation engine that places multiple signal types on one surface so converging events can be seen together.
• Country dossiers with instability scores, cited AI briefs, active map signals, and a 7-day timeline.
