Aware
What We Do

Four products. One record of the truth.

Every Aware product draws on the same foundation — Aware Atlas, the largest working record of local government decisions ever assembled. Here's how each one puts it to work, for the people who need it.


Aware Aware Insights
For Residents & Researchers aware-insights.net

Follow your town. Understand every decision.

Local meetings run two to four hours and decide the things that actually shape daily life — school budgets, zoning, policing, taxes. Almost nobody has time to watch them. Aware Insights is built for that: follow your town and get a plain-English recap the moment a meeting ends, no video required.

It scales with how deep you need to go. A resident tracking one town gets recaps and one-tap plain-language explanations. A researcher tracking a live issue can search across every town in the corpus, save a Signal that alerts them the moment something new matches, and follow one ordinance from first mention through the final vote with Legislative History. Same product, same data, deeper as you need it.

Aware Sundays.News
Free, Every Sunday Morning sundays.news

Your town's week, in one email.

Sundays is Aware's free weekly newsletter: a plain-English recap of what happened in local government, delivered Sunday morning to any town with new data from the week before. No account, no paywall — just what happened and why it matters, before you've finished your coffee.

Every city Aware covers gets its own page and its own edition, built from the same data behind Aware Insights. In select cities, that edition includes a podcast version read straight from the newsletter — some are already publishing on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Want to go deeper on a specific question or past meeting? Sundays links straight into Aware Insights.

Aware Aware Lens
For Government & Residents aware-lens.com

Compliance that turns into engagement.

Aware Lens — formerly Aware Compliance — exists because of a deadline: ADA Title II now requires WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility for government meeting video, and most agencies aren't close. Lens connects to a town's existing YouTube channel, Zoom account, or uploaded files and automatically produces accurate captions, audio description, interactive transcripts, and plain-language summaries — live in days, not months.

Compliance is the part that clears an audit. The resident portal is the part that builds trust: residents can watch or skim a summary. For the people running the town, Lens also includes Aware Atlas — giving staff access to how 3,800 cities across five countries have handled the same zoning fight, budget shortfall, or ordinance, before they have to decide.

Aware CampaignTrack
For Candidates & Campaigns campaigntrack.net

Run for office. Stay compliant.

Local election finance rules are unforgiving on the one thing a campaign doesn't have: time. CampaignTrack gives candidates and campaign treasurers a single financial dashboard for every contribution and expenditure, checks each donor against the legal contribution limit automatically, and prepares the periodic disclosure reports election law requires — so filing week stops eating the week.

CampaignTrack also opens a door most campaigns never get: direct access to Aware Atlas. A candidate can see how a comparable town handled the same zoning fight, budget shortfall, or ordinance before taking a position on it. Aware's belief is simple — better-informed candidates make for better government, and that starts with knowing the record.

FAQ

Common questions about our products

Is Aware Insights free to use?

Aware Insights works the same way for everyone: plain-English meeting recaps and one-tap explanations for residents following a town, with deeper tools like Signals and Legislative History for researchers tracking issues across many towns — same product, same data, deeper as you need it.

Is the Sundays newsletter really free?

Yes. Sundays is Aware's free weekly newsletter, delivered every Sunday morning to any covered town with new government activity from the prior week.

What does Aware Lens do for ADA compliance?

Lens connects to a town's existing YouTube channel, Zoom account, or uploaded video and automatically produces accurate captions, audio description, interactive transcripts, and plain-language summaries — meeting the WCAG 2.1 AA standard ADA Title II now requires for government meeting video.

Does CampaignTrack file my campaign finance reports for me?

CampaignTrack prepares the periodic disclosure reports election law requires and checks every donor against the legal contribution limit automatically, so reporting week takes far less time — candidates and treasurers still file with their local election office.

What is Aware Atlas?

Aware Atlas is the research database underneath all four Aware products — a record of how more than 3,800 cities across five countries have addressed the same zoning fights, budget shortfalls, and ordinances. It powers Aware Insights, Aware Lens, and CampaignTrack.
