## What is Gov Glance?

Gov Glance is not the media; it is the citizen's tool for government transparency. With Gov Glance you will have the ability to view updates across the whole government, including all 3 federal branches, all 50 states, local news reports, and more on the way. Read official documents like bills, laws, reports, hearings, court arguments, and much more that are just a tap away. Explore topics like Economy, Environment, Foreign Affairs, Science & Technology, health, spending, regulations and more coming soon. If you find something interesting you can save it to your collection to read later. All collection data is saved locally on your device and is never shared with anyone or anything. As a non-profit we created a tool that is truly free which means we respect your privacy. You will never need an account to access Gov Glance and no data will ever be shared or sold.

Government today is vast, but it is only as powerful as the people who give it strength, which at the end of the day is all of us. Many of us are frustrated with how inefficient government can be, and there is no easy solution. The way forward will never be by electing a super politician to fix all of our problems. It is our role as citizens to be as conscious as we can to steer society in the right direction. Becoming an informed citizen does not mean knowing the latest gossip from Capitol Hill, but rather understanding our communities and the actions government is taking, for better or for worse, so we can hold our representatives accountable and know how we want to move forward together.

### 3/5 — Good idea

*2025-03-01*

I love the premise of this app but it sometimes alerts me of very interesting news but then when you click on the notification it goes to a blank screen and then I never find the actual post about that story and it’s frustrating! So if there was a way to link to those stories that would be great

### 5/5 — A new way to source information based around facts

*2023-06-09*

Finally! A centralized source of information for all bodies of government in the U.S.
