How it works

Four colors.
One minute each.

Townminute speaks in four colors, and each one means one thing. Learn them once and you can read any screen at a glance.

01 · Amber is your town

Tell us where
you live.

Your ZIP, then your
location or your
neighborhood. We find your
council district and your
council member.

02 · Tomato is time

Read it in a minute.

Every decision is a plain question with a date.
Both sides, in one minute.

03 · Mint is people

Say you’re going.

Tap I’m going and see how many others are.
Go with your group or an open one.

04 · Sky is the city

See how
it went.

The result in plain
words, and how your own
council member voted.

Plain words

The council writes
for the clerk.
We write for you.

We read the agenda, the staff report and the motion.
You get one question, the date, and both sides,
in about a minute.

What you read

Our promise

Plain words,
checked by a person.

Six promises hold the whole thing up.
They are built into the app, not just
written on this page.

1:00

One minute per decision.

Both sides, in plain words,
with the date it is decided.

Checked by
a person.

AI drafts each summary. A person
on our team checks it before you
see it. Drafts say they are drafts.

Donations never
buy placement.

Every decision is listed by date,
the same way for everyone.
No ads, no sponsors, no tiers.

137 going · Names stay in the group

We count.
We never expose.

Who is going shows only inside
your group. Everyone else
sees a number.

Know when
it moves.

If a vote moves, you hear the new
date in words, the same day.

Every date,
said in words.

Friday, October 30 at 10 AM.
Never 10/30, never a file number.
