Live website: https://www.crucix.live/ Explore the public demo first, then clone the repo to run Crucix locally.
Crucix pulls satellite fire detection, flight tracking, radiation monitoring, satellite constellation tracking, economic indicators, live market prices, conflict data, sanctions lists, and social sentiment from 27 open-source intelligence feeds — in parallel, every 15 minutes — and renders everything on a single self-contained Jarvis-style dashboard.
Hook it up to an LLM and it becomes a two-way intelligence assistant — pushing multi-tier alerts to Telegram and Discord when something meaningful changes, responding to commands like /brief and /sweep from your phone, and generating actionable trade ideas grounded in real cross-domain data. Your own analyst that watches the world while you sleep.
Try the live demo first at https://www.crucix.live/, then clone the repo when you want the full local stack.
No cloud. No telemetry. No subscriptions. Just node server.mjs and you're running.
Token / Asset Warning
[!WARNING] Crucix has not launched any official token, coin, NFT, airdrop, presale, or other blockchain-based asset. Any token or digital asset using the Crucix name, logo, or branding is not affiliated with or endorsed by Crucix. Do not buy it, promote it, connect a wallet to claim it, sign transactions, or send funds based on third-party posts, DMs, or websites.
Why This Exists
Most of the world's real-time intelligence — satellite imagery, radiation levels, conflict events, economic indicators, flight tracking, maritime activity — is publicly available. It's just scattered across dozens of government APIs, research institutions, and open data feeds that nobody has time to check individually.
Crucix brings it all into one place. Not behind a paywall, not locked in an enterprise platform, not requiring a security clearance. Just open data, aggregated and cross-correlated on your own machine, updated every 15 minutes.
It was built for anyone who wants to understand what's actually happening in the world right now — researchers, journalists, traders, OSINT analysts, or just curious people who believe access to information shouldn't depend on your budget.
Quick Start
# 1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/calesthio/Crucix.git
cd Crucix
# 2. Install dependencies (just Express)
npm install
# 3. Copy env template and add your API keys (see below)
cp .env.example .env
# 4. Start the dashboard
npm run dev
If
npm run devfails silently (exits with no output), run Node directly instead:node --trace-warnings server.mjsThis bypasses npm's script runner, which can swallow errors on some systems (particularly PowerShell on Windows). You can also run
node diag.mjsto diagnose the exact issue — it checks your Node version, tests each module import individually, and verifies port availability. See Troubleshooting for more.
The dashboard opens automatically at http://localhost:3117 and immediately begins its first intelligence sweep. This initial sweep queries all 27 sources in parallel and typically takes 30–60 seconds — the dashboard will appear empty until the sweep completes and pushes the first data update. After that, it auto-refreshes every 15 minutes via SSE (Server-Sent Events). No manual page refresh needed.
Requirements: Node.js 22+ (uses native fetch, top-level await, ESM)
Docker
git clone https://github.com/calesthio/Crucix.git
cd Crucix
cp .env.example .env # add your API keys
docker compose up -d
Dashboard at http://localhost:3117. Sweep data persists in ./runs/ via volume mount. Includes a health check endpoint.
What You Get
Live Dashboard
A self-contained Jarvis-style HUD with:
- 3D WebGL globe (Globe.gl) with atmosphere glow, star field, and smooth rotation — plus a classic flat map toggle
- 9 marker types across both views: fire detections, air traffic, radiation sites, maritime chokepoints, SDR receivers, OSINT events, health alerts, geolocated news, conflict events
- Animated 3D flight corridor arcs between air traffic hotspots and global hubs
- Region filters (World, Americas, Europe, Middle East, Asia Pacific, Africa) — rotates the globe or zooms the flat map
- Live market data — indexes, crypto, energy, commodities via Yahoo Finance (no API key needed)
- Risk gauges — VIX, high-yield spread, supply chain pressure index
- OSINT feed — English-language posts from 17 Telegram intelligence channels (expandable)
- News ticker — merged RSS + GDELT headlines + Telegram posts, auto-scrolling
- Sweep delta — live panel showing what changed since last sweep (new signals, escalations, de-escalations with severity)
- Cross-source signals — correlated intelligence across satellite, economic, conflict, and social domains
- Nuclear watch — real-time radiation readings from Safecast + EPA RadNet
- Space watch — CelesTrak satellite tracking: recent launches, ISS, military constellations, Starlink/OneWeb counts
- Leverageable ideas — AI-generated trade ideas (with LLM) or signal-correlated ideas (without)
Performance Modes
The VISUALS FULL / VISUALS LITE button in the top bar only changes rendering behavior - it does not remove data sources or reduce sweep coverage.
When you switch to VISUALS LITE, the dashboard:
- Disables decorative background effects such as the radial/grid overlays and scanlines
- Removes expensive blur/backdrop-filter effects on panels and overlays
- Stops non-essential animations like the logo ring blink, conflict rings, and corridor flow effects
- Disables globe auto-rotation and turns off animated flight-arc dashes
- Converts the horizontal news ticker and OSINT stream into static, scrollable lists instead of continuously animated marquees
Mobile-specific behavior:
- On mobile,
VISUALS LITEalso forces the dashboard into flat map mode if you are currently on the globe - Future mobile loads will continue to start flat while low-perf mode is enabled
The preference is saved in browser local storage, so the UI will remember your last setting.
Auto-Refresh
The server runs a sweep cycle every 15 minutes (configurable). Each cycle:
- Queries all 27 sources in parallel (~30s)
- Synthesizes raw data into dashboard format
- Computes delta from previous run (what changed, escalated, de-escalated) — visible in the Sweep Delta panel on the dashboard
- Generates LLM trade ideas (if configured)
- Evaluates breaking news alerts — multi-tier (FLASH / PRIORITY / ROUTINE) with semantic dedup. Sends to Telegram and/or Discord if configured. Works with LLM evaluation or falls back to rule-based alerting when LLM is unavailable.
- Pushes update to all connected browsers via SSE
Telegram Bot (Two-Way)
Crucix doubles as an interactive Telegram bot. Beyond sending alerts, it responds to commands directly from your chat:
| Command | What It Does |
|---------|-------------|
| /status | System health, last sweep time, source status, LLM status |
| /sweep | Trigger a manual sweep cycle |
| /brief | Compact text summary of the latest intelligence (direction, key metrics, top OSINT) |
| /portfolio | Portfolio status (if Alpaca connected) |
| /alerts | Recent alert history with tiers |
| /mute / /mute 2h | Silence alerts for 1h (or custom duration) |
| /unmute | Resume alerts |
| /help | Show all available commands |
This requires TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID in .env. The bot polls for messages every 5 seconds (configurable via TELEGRAM_POLL_INTERVAL).
Discord Bot (Two-Way)
Crucix also supports Discord as a full-featured bot with slash commands and rich embed alerts. It mirrors the Telegram bot's capabilities with Discord-native formatting.
| Command | What It Does |
|---------|-------------|
| /status | System health, last sweep time, source status, LLM status |
| /sweep | Trigger a manual sweep cycle |
| /brief | Compact text summary of the latest intelligence |
| /portfolio | Portfolio status (if Alpaca connected) |
Alerts are delivered as rich embeds with color-coded sidebars: red for FLASH, yellow for PRIORITY, blue for ROUTINE. Each embed includes signal details, confidence scores, and cross-domain correlations.
Setup requires: DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN, DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID,
