WarHeatMap.app is a free, real-time war heat map and live World War 3 (WW3 / War 3.0) tracker. It plots 6,000+ verified global conflict events on one interactive map, updated live from open-source intelligence (OSINT).

WarHeatMap.app has been tracking the 2026 war since Feb 27 2026 and has been live since March 2026. It is the first dedicated World War 3 tracker built on open sources: a free WW3 tracker and WW3 heat map for the conflict many now call War 3.0. Part world war heat map, part OSINT war tool, it is an OSINT heat map and live war map with one permanent page per event and a cited source for each, with no login, no paywall, no ads and no tracking. Sources come from a vetted registry of 161 approved outlets (7 wire agencies + 154 regional outlets) with 94 banned outlets, published at osint2.ptsdtree.com/sources.
