## What is Intel Desk?

Intel Desk is a live intelligence desk for energy, geopolitics and market-moving risk.

Use it to monitor breaking developments, source-backed claims, cross-asset market context, chokepoint activity, sanctions signals, watchlists and critical alerts from one focused workspace.

Intel Desk is built for fast situational awareness. Open the desk, see what changed, inspect the sources behind a claim, follow live risk on the map and track unresolved items without jumping between feeds, charts and research notes.

Key features:
• Live geopolitical and energy intelligence feed
• One-tap source proof for important claims
• Watchlists for assets, regions and themes
• Critical alerts for high-priority developments
• Market context across oil, gas, gold, rates, equities and crypto
• Interactive map for regional and chokepoint monitoring
• Timeline and replay tools for tracking how events developed
• Paper calls and market odds for research and scenario tracking

Intel Desk does not execute trades, provide brokerage services or offer personalised financial advice. It is an intelligence, monitoring and research workflow tool.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 (5) — 2026-05-06

Adds House Trades, a congressional disclosure tape sourced from official House Clerk PTR filings, plus sharper production readiness for alerts, proof trails, and the native iOS app bundle.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-05-04

Improved the iPhone and iPad dashboard layout so each tab uses the full screen cleanly, with less unused space and smoother switching between Feeds, Market, OSINT, Map, Odds, and More.

This update also tightens the live feed, removes redundant mobile-only chrome, and improves viewport handling across tablet and desktop sizes.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-05-04

Intel Desk 1.0.2 makes the desk faster, cleaner, and more personal.

New:
- First-seen receipts on feed cards, so you can see when Intel Desk detected a claim, which source moved first, and when it was confirmed.
- A personal trade-lane setup for LNG, oil, rates, defence, chips, and macro. Pick a lane and the desk preloads watchlists, alert terms, source bias, and an Open First brief.
- Source Ops monitoring to flag repeated-empty, fallback-only, or slow sources before the feed feels stale.
- Expanded official and market-moving coverage for chips, macro, defence posture, troop movements, DOD sources, SEC feeds, Google News, and hot search sensors.
- Better OSINT preset packs with clear armed state, live match counts, and filtering behavior.
- Mobile feed polish with less dead space, tighter scan rows, faster bottom tab response, and compact Open First receipts.

Also improved duplicate suppression, publisher parsing, feed rotation, first-seen audit trails, and live smoke checks.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-01

Improved mobile dashboard performance, clearer App Store links, tighter feed spacing, better trader desk polish, and updated native app assets.

### 1.0 — 2026-04-29
