3Brains

A watchlist platform for public information

Watch what matters. Get notified when it changes.

There's a lot of useful public information out there — and almost no good way to track it over time. 3Brains is a small suite of apps that quietly do the watching for you and let you know the moment something shifts.

The apps. Five so far.

Put any of them on your phone.

Every 3Brains app is a progressive web app — it installs in one tap, no app store needed. Once installed, it has its own icon on your home screen, runs full-screen, and behaves just like a native app.

i. iPhone & iPad

  1. Open the app in Safari (not Chrome — Apple only allows installs from Safari).
  2. Tap the Share button — the square with an arrow pointing up, at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Scroll down in the share menu and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. Tap Add in the top-right corner. Done.

The app's icon will appear on your home screen alongside your native apps. Tap it to launch.

ii. Android

  1. Open the app in Chrome.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
  3. Tap Install app (or Add to Home Screen, depending on your version of Chrome).
  4. Tap Install. Done.

Some versions of Chrome show an automatic install banner at the bottom of the page — feel free to use that instead.

About 3Brains.

```

A small platform built around a simple observation: there's a lot of useful public information out there, and almost no easy way to track it over time.

3Brains is the work of Bill Spencer — a Honolulu-based entrepreneur, former CEO of six software companies, and former leader of the Hawaii Venture Capital Association — built in collaboration with two AI engineering partners, Claude and ChatGPT. Three brains. One mission.

Each app pulls from public sources — government recall feeds, public hazard data, sports APIs, obituary records — and turns the act of "checking" into the act of "watching." You add what you care about. We notice when something changes. You hear about it.

No ads. No subscriptions on the core experience. Built quietly, on purpose.
