Overview
World Monitor is a free dashboard that gathers news feeds and live data on conflicts, disasters, flights, markets and energy onto a 3D globe or flat map. AI condenses the news into short briefs, and themed versions cover tech, finance, commodities, energy and good news. You open it in the browser or install the desktop app for macOS, Windows or Linux. It suits people who follow world events, researchers and anyone who wants one screen instead of dozens of tabs.
It puts news, maps and market data side by side in one free screen, and the desktop app can use a local Ollama model for its summaries.
