UnGovr: Government Unlocked
UnGovr removes the barriers between people and their government – providing a single accessible, multilingual interface to 320,000+ agencies across 200+ countries. No insider knowledge required.
Modern mapping, mobile, and AI make it possible to simplify how people discover, follow, and engage with government across places and agencies.
What we're building
A global government access platform for users and developers.
Government Entities
Countries
For Humans
An intuitive experience for residents, journalists, and civic organizations. Discover the agencies that serve you, file open records requests, follow decisions, and participate in your government – without needing to understand how it's organized.
For Agents
Structured APIs and consistent data for any software that interacts with government – from civic apps and dashboards to agentic AI systems. Query entities, boundaries, services, and records programmatically, so your tools can navigate government as fluently as a person.
Discover
Find the right agency for your issue, even when you don't know where to start. UnGovr maps your location to the jurisdictions that serve you – across all 50 US states and 200+ countries.
Follow
Track issues across meetings, documents, and decisions over time. Get context without having to become an expert on each agency's systems.
Request
Exercise your right to open records. UnGovr helps you navigate open records laws across all countries and US jurisdictions – each with different rules, deadlines, and requirements – and submit requests directly.
Participate
Know when and how to show up. UnGovr surfaces opportunities to engage at the right moment, with the right context.
Currently in development
We're building in the open with a public beta planned for 2026
Entity discovery
Mapping the complex web of local governments, special districts, and agencies that serve different areas.
Open Records Extracts
Mining open records responses from government entities to produce Open Records Extracts (OREs) – raw text that we deduplicate, vectorize, and load into entity-specific knowledge bases. OREs can be queried city by city or merged across jurisdictions.
Open records integration
Cataloging FOIA, open records, and freedom of information laws across jurisdictions – with their varying response deadlines, residency requirements, and procedures – so users can file requests directly through UnGovr.
Meeting awareness
Surfacing upcoming public meetings and providing context about what's being discussed.
Our approach
UnGovr is a nonprofit initiative building open civic infrastructure for residents, journalists, researchers, and civic organizations alike.
Rather than cover everything at once, we prove patterns in specific places and use cases, then expand. The goal isn't to replace official government systems – it's to put a consistent, accessible interface in front of them.
To go deeper: our vision lays out where UnGovr is headed over the mid and long term, and our impact covers the people who benefit most from barrier-free access to government.
