TODAY'S BRIEFING · · ● LIVE
● YOUR AGENT · FREE · NEVER SLEEPS
FILE 01 · HUMANITY
How many of us there are, and how fast we arrive and leave. Modelled from the UN's estimates, not a live census.
FILE 03 · PLANET
Earthquakes, storms, eruptions and disasters, with time, place and depth, straight from the agencies that measure them.
FILE 04 · CLIMATE
Fires, ice and storms as tracked by NASA. Satellite fire hotspots are being added.
FILE 05 · SKY & SPACE
What is above us right now: the station, the Sun's mood and the Moon.
FILE 06 · WEALTH
Crypto and gold, each defined, dated and never added together.
FILE 07 · MONEY
What a euro buys around the world, at the European Central Bank's daily reference rates.
FILE 08 · ENERGY & CO₂
How much coal, oil and gas the world burns, the CO₂ it puts in the air, who emits most and who still has the most left in the ground.
FILE 09 · FORECASTS
The odds people are betting real money on, and the IMF's forecast for every economy. Forecasts, not facts: they change as the world does.
THE WIRE · CONNECTING
Headlines from BBC, Al Jazeera, DW, France 24, NPR, CNBC, CoinDesk and more. Tap a story for the preview; read the full piece at the source.
PERSONAL FILE
Enter a year from 1950 on and see how many people were alive then, compared with today.
WATCH · BRIEFINGS
Cinematic shots for atmosphere, rendered data for every number. Every figure on screen is sourced and labelled.
HOW YOUR AGENT WORKS
Your Agent reads the same live feeds you see on this page (USGS, NASA, GDACS, NOAA and the markets) every few minutes, and only speaks up when something you care about happens.
An earthquake near home, a wildfire nearby, a price you are waiting for, the ISS over your street, an aurora night. Pick from 53 alerts, five are free.
Around the clock, checking the official sources for your city and your choices. No feeds to scroll, no apps to open.
By email now, and by push notification when the app arrives. Set quiet hours: only critical alerts get through at night.
Felt the quake? Saw the ISS? Aurora overhead? Field reports earn points and lift your rank, from Recruit to Director. Live now on Telegram →
