About this app

BillTracking is a public legislative resource with live feeds drawn from the official record. It follows legislation through each legislature it covers, currently the United States Congress and the European Union. Posts are labeled accurately and errors are corrected when found. There is no commentary, no paywall and nothing to buy.

Not a government app: BillTracking is independent and does not represent any government entity. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the United States Congress, the European Union or any government body.

WHAT'S IN THE APP

• Feed: every step of legislation is posted, including routine steps, not just the well-known bills. Posting every step keeps the record complete and reliable. Choose the legislatures you want to follow and change them at any time.
• Bill pages: each bill has its own page showing its official path, with every step dated and described in the record's own terms.
• Search: search everything tracked since July 2026, including labels, titles and summaries. Predictions are not included. Search covers every session, not just the current one.
• My docket: sign in to follow individual bills and add docket keywords, words the app watches for in new posts, so what you care about has its own view.
• Voting and notifications: sign in with Google (or with Apple on iPhone) to cast one vote per bill, see how other readers lean, and get notified when a bill you follow moves.
• Accuracy and corrections: errors are corrected when found, and every post has a Report an error option.

SOURCES

All government information in the app comes from these official, publicly available sources, published by the institutions themselves under terms that allow reuse:

United States
• Congress.gov: https://www.congress.gov
• U.S. House of Representatives documents: https://docs.house.gov
• Congressional Budget Office: https://www.cbo.gov

European Union
• European Parliament open data portal: https://data.europarl.europa.eu
• European Parliament Legislative Observatory (OEIL): https://oeil.europarl.europa.eu
• Publications Office of the European Union: https://op.europa.eu
• Council of the European Union: https://www.consilium.europa.eu

Sources are also credited throughout the app: official summaries name their source, and every post and bill page links to the bill's official source.

HOW POSTS ARE MADE

BillTracking checks these sources for new actions. Each new action is matched against a model of the legislative process. If an action can't be placed with confidence, it is logged and skipped rather than guessed. Posts use fixed templates that describe the action in the record's own terms, with dates and vote numbers copied exactly.

Summaries are the legislature's official summaries, quoted word for word with their source and version. If there is no official summary, none is shown. Where a post shows a plain-English version of the official summary, it is written by AI and marked as such. Signed in, you can turn it off in Settings. Vote tallies, dates, bill numbers and budget figures come straight from the record. If the record doesn't include a number, the line is left out rather than estimated.

We would rather hedge or leave something out than publish a claim that is wrong.

NO ACCOUNT NEEDED TO READ

Reading is free and sends us nothing. The app has no ads, no third-party analytics and no tracking SDKs. If you're not signed in, your settings stay on your device.

SESSIONS

Each feed shows which session it is in. When a new session begins, the feed marks the change and continues. Tracking began in July 2026.

Public records are republished with attribution under their open-data terms.
