Watchtower: Live World Globe

Watchtower puts a live 3D globe of the world on your phone — and nothing runs through a server. Every data point comes straight from the original provider's own public API, fetched on your device.

THE GLOBE
Real-time aircraft, ships, satellites and the ISS, earthquakes, wildfires and disasters. Spin it, tap anything for details, double-tap to zoom. Every interaction has its own sound and haptic feedback.

MARKETS & NEWS, BY COUNTRY
Pick any country for its markets and headlines. Foreign-language headlines can be translated right on your device. Add your own RSS feeds.

RADIO & SATELLITES
Live radio stations worldwide, shortwave receivers you can tune in, satellite passes overhead, and recorded satellite downlink audio.

INTEL, NEAR AND FAR
Weather and earthquakes near you; conflict, hazards, sanctions and cyber threats worldwide — from 40+ free, public sources, each one credited in the app. A few extras unlock when you add your own key.

OPTIONAL: BRING YOUR OWN AI
Everything above works with zero setup. If you want, add your own API key for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, Mistral or OpenRouter to ask questions about what you're seeing. Your questions go directly from your phone to the provider you chose.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
There is no Watchtower server. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no analytics of our own. If you share your location, only an approximate area is sent to the data providers that need it to show what's near you.
