FrontWatch
Real-time global conflict monitoring on one live map
FrontWatch tracks active conflicts worldwide in real time — Ukraine, the Middle East, the Sahel, and beyond — on one interactive map. We combine OSINT from Telegram, vetted news sources, and AI-assisted extraction to publish structured, geolocated events within minutes. Get a live map, regional dashboards, a DEFCON-style escalation index, AI forecasts, timelines, and a 7-day trend. Free for everyone, with Premium for analysts (heatmaps, exports, alerts).
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Tim, founder of FrontWatch (frontwatch.org).
I built FrontWatch because following global conflicts today means jumping between Telegram channels, news sites, and Twitter threads — with no shared map, no structure, and no way to see the bigger picture.
FrontWatch fixes that:
🗺️ One live world map with every active conflict, geolocated and severity-tagged
⚡ AI pipeline that turns raw articles & OSINT into structured events in minutes
🌍 Regional dashboards for Ukraine, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia
📊 DEFCON-style escalation index, 7-day trend, and AI-generated regional forecasts
🛰️ OSINT layer pulling from vetted Telegram channels
🔔 Real-time alerts, timelines, and a curated wiki/blog for context
💎 Free for everyone — Premium adds heatmaps, CSV/GeoJSON exports, and advanced alerts for analysts & researchers
This is an independent project — no investors, no agenda. Just a tool I wished existed.
Would love your feedback, especially from journalists, analysts, and OSINT folks. AMA in the thread 🙌
