Read aloud is available in English for now. Romanian and Spanish voices are planned.

Natural voices made on our own server, no service, no quota. The small speaker next to any title reads that part only. With "Tap to listen" on, a chip reads its list, a number box reads its number, any line reads itself.
Shows only what was reported inside that place in the last 24 hours, plus its Earth context. One AI summary per search, the numbers are always there even when the AI is busy.

The story of the day

Written from the facts below and nothing else. Predictions come from the recorded history, not from a measurement, and the page says so.

Overview The phones measured magnetic, BLE, cellular, Wi‑Fi, GNSS and pressure layers across seven hexes. Four phones uploaded 136 scans in the last 24 hours. The network was quiet with only one speed test showing a 38 Mbps download and 95 ms ping. Earthquakes rose to 51 events, the most in a week. Natural events included 54 wildfires and nine severe storms.

Where the phones measured Phones were active in Erfurt, Antwerp, Nice and Galaţi. Erfurt contributed 73 uploads from one phone covering four hexes. Antwerp added 28 uploads from one phone covering one hex. Nice and Galaţi each added 28 and 7 uploads respectively, each from a single phone covering one hex. Two hexes were measured for the first time ever.

Sky and planet Snow covered 17,608,072 km², most in Greenland and Antarctica. Sea ice covered 16,798,205 km², largest off Antarctica, Russia and Canada. Haze was thick over Pakistan with optical depth up to 2.42, dimming the Sun, and also over Indonesia with peaks up to 2.85. Lights were brightest over Russia and off the coast of Peru at about 9.8 nW/(cm² sr). Aurora chance was 19% over Antarctica, a small chance. Space weather was quiet with Kp 0.67 and peak 1.67. There were 51 earthquakes, the strongest M5.4 north of Svalbard. Fires burned in Texas, Washington and Mississippi. Severe storms included Tropical Storm Rachel and Hurricane Nolo. Icebergs D33C, A84 and A81 were tracked in Antarctic waters.

Tomorrow, from the history Tomorrow the forecast expects about 891 scan uploads, roughly between 579 and 1203, based on the past week’s history. It also predicts about 29 hexes measured, between 19 and 39, from the same historical trend. Both numbers come from the history, not from a new measurement.
