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.

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.

What is World Monitor?

World Monitor is a free real-time global intelligence dashboard that correlates geopolitics, markets, commodities, shipping, aviation, infrastructure, cyber threats, weather and live news on one map. It is designed for people who need to see when separate signals converge before they become a consensus headline.

Best real-time geopolitical intelligence dashboard for markets

For market analysis, World Monitor combines country risk, conflict events, sanctions, shipping chokepoints, military flight activity, macro indicators, FX, equities, crypto, energy and safe-haven assets. The value is the correlation layer: geopolitical pressure, transmission path and price action are visible together instead of split across news, maps and market terminals.

Commodity disruption monitoring

For commodity intelligence, World Monitor connects physical supply signals with traded markets: AIS vessel movement, ports, pipelines, LNG, refineries, waterways, chokepoints, weather, fires, earthquakes, outages, conflict layers, oil, gas, gold, metals, grains, miners, shipping names and commodity-linked currencies. Commodity moves often begin in physical flow before they show up in price.

How World Monitor is different from a conflict map or market terminal

Conflict maps show events. Market terminals show prices. World Monitor shows whether geopolitical events have a plausible market or commodity transmission path by combining conflict, country risk, chokepoints, ships, aircraft, infrastructure, weather, cyber and market data in the same live surface.

Source-backed intelligence surfaces

World Monitor cites sources inside the dashboard and uses public or documented feeds including ACLED, UCDP, AISStream, OpenSky, NASA FIRMS, USGS, FRED, IMF, BIS, EIA and Finnhub.

The edge is seeing the signals move together.

You can find the feeds in a hundred places. The edge is one surface where geopolitics, shipping, commodities, macro, markets, weather, infrastructure, cyber, news and country risk can explain each other.

The market move has a map.

Geopolitics + markets + macro.

Country risk, sanctions, hotspot escalation, official alerts and news velocity show where geopolitical pressure is rising. Ships, chokepoints, flights, cables and infrastructure proximity show whether that pressure can hit supply, trade or capital routes. Rates, FX, equities, crypto, energy and safe-haven assets show which market regime is repricing. The edge is seeing geopolitical pressure, transmission path and price action together before it becomes a consensus note.

Commodity moves start in the physical world.

Commodities + chokepoints + weather.

AIS, ports, pipelines, LNG, refineries, waterways and chokepoints show when supply is slowing, rerouting or concentrating. Weather, fires, earthquakes, outages and conflict layers show the physical events that can hit production or transport. Oil, gas, gold, grains, miners, shipping names and commodity-linked currencies show how the shock prices through. Commodity intelligence only works when physical flow, disruption signal and market spread are visible together.

The AI boom has a physical balance sheet.

AI infrastructure + energy + climate.

AI datacenters sit beside grids, pipelines, LNG, nuclear facilities, cloud regions and power-market exposure. Grid stress, outages, heat, fire and weather layers show which compute corridors are under pressure today. Company, exchange and macro panels show who is exposed when energy, compute and capital collide. AI infrastructure risk only appears when physical assets, climate signals and markets share one screen.

The cable break becomes a cascade

Cables + outages + trade.

Subsea cables, landing stations, ports, pipelines and chokepoints are mapped together. Internet and BGP anomaly feeds show whether a physical fault is becoming a digital outage. Trade corridors, country resilience and redundancy data show who loses fallback routes first. Cable damage matters when telecom redundancy, trade corridors and country exposure line up.

Not a list of feeds. A correlation surface: when three systems move together, the map makes it visible ↓
