What is WorldPulse?
WorldPulse is a global event monitoring app for iOS and Android that brings earthquakes, armed conflict, natural disasters, cyber threats and world news onto a single live map — aggregating 13 official data sources and linking every event back to the institution that published it.
Everything that moves the world, in one place.
We don't write the news. We read official feeds, normalise them into one event model and put them on the map — with the origin one tap away.
13 official sources
USGS, NOAA, NASA, GDACS, CISA, NIST, Smithsonian and more. Every event links straight back to the agency that published it.
Places you care about
Add your family's city, a business trip or a holiday route. Get alerted only when something crosses your chosen severity near them.
The planet in one number
A severity-weighted summary of the last 24 hours against a 7-day baseline, with hourly trend and per-category spikes.
39,510 mapped facilities
Nuclear plants, dams, ports, airports, data centres, military bases and maritime chokepoints, from OpenStreetMap.
Three levels, not a firehose
Critical, High or All — plus Quiet Hours. Defaults start narrow deliberately, because a noisy alert app gets deleted.
On your lock screen
Follow a developing event in the Dynamic Island and on your lock screen while it unfolds.
At a glance
Home screen and lock screen widgets showing the Activity Index and the latest significant events.
Including full RTL
English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (BR) and Arabic.
From scattered feeds to one clear map.
01
Ingest
Scheduled jobs poll 13 official sources and 10 news feeds every 5 to 15 minutes — government APIs, GeoJSON feeds, GeoRSS and raw event exports.
02
Normalise
Every record is converted into one event model: category, subtype, severity 1–5, coordinates, timestamp and source. Duplicates across sources are merged by proximity, time window and title similarity.
03
Alert
Events are drawn on the map and pushed to your watch locations — but only above the severity you chose, and never during your Quiet Hours.
Multi-domain coverage.

We say 5–15 minutes, because it is 5–15 minutes.
Most apps in this category call themselves real-time. Almost none are. WorldPulse polls its sources every 5 to 15 minutes and labels every event with how fresh it is. No invented threat levels, no fake gauges, no intelligence theatre — and no claim to track things we do not actually track.
Built for people who need to know.
Families apart
Watch the city where your family lives and hear about it before the news cycle does.
Travellers & expats
Check conditions at your destination, and keep watching it while you're there.
Journalists & analysts
Located events with named sources and timestamps, ready to verify.
Risk & supply chain

Questions, answered.
What is WorldPulse?
WorldPulse is a global event monitoring app for iOS and Android that brings earthquakes, armed conflict, natural disasters, cyber threats and world news onto a single live map. It aggregates 13 official data sources — including USGS, NOAA, NASA, GDACS and CISA — plus 10 news feeds, and links every event back to the institution that published it.
Is WorldPulse free?
Yes. The live map, the event feed and basic alerts are free, and no account is required to start. An optional Pro subscription adds unlimited watch locations, strategic infrastructure layers and advanced alerting.
Where does the data come from?
All event data comes from publicly available official feeds: USGS for earthquakes, NOAA/NWS for severe weather, NASA EONET and FIRMS for natural events and fires, GDACS for global disaster alerts, CISA KEV and NIST NVD for cyber vulnerabilities, the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program for volcanic activity, GDELT for conflict events, and OpenStreetMap for infrastructure. Every source is named and linked on our data sources page.
How often is the data updated?
Every 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the source. We do not describe WorldPulse as real-time, because polling at that interval is not real-time. Each event carries a freshness label so you always know how recent it is.
Is WorldPulse affiliated with any government agency?
No. WorldPulse is an independent application. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing USGS, NOAA, NASA, CISA, the United Nations or any other government or intergovernmental agency. For official warnings and emergency instructions, always consult your local authorities.
What languages does WorldPulse support?
English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil) and Arabic, with full right-to-left support.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone and iPad running iOS 17.0 or later via the App Store, and Android phones and tablets via Google Play.
How is this different from a news app?
A news app gives you headlines. WorldPulse gives you located events: every item has coordinates, a severity level from 1 to 5, a named source and a timestamp, drawn on a map you can filter by category. You can also watch specific places and be alerted only when something happens near them.
The world will not wait.
