Real UK Parliament data, your own notes at every stage
Search UK Parliament bills, track the ones you care about, and watch each one's real progress through its stages laid out as a visual horizontal timeline - built from Parliament's own live data, with your own notes and links attached right where they matter.
Search UK Parliament's own Bills API by title - every current and recent bill in the Commons and Lords, with its current stage, house and last-updated date.
Every stage a bill has passed through - 1st reading, 2nd reading, Committee, Report, 3rd reading and beyond - laid out left to right with the date each stage actually sat, so progress reads at a glance instead of scrolling a list.
Click any stage on a tracked bill's timeline to attach a personal note - an amendment you're watching, a briefing point, why this stage matters to you - right where it happened in the bill's progress.
Attach a link to a stage too - a news article, a committee report, a briefing document - so the sources you found stay attached to exactly the point they relate to, not lost in a browser history.
A "My Bills" list of every bill you're following, with a one-click "Refresh stages" that pulls the latest sitting dates straight from Parliament whenever you want an update.
Export your whole tracked-bills list - including every note and link - to a JSON file, and import it back on another device whenever you like.
Switch between a light or dark theme that remembers your choice, whichever you find easiest to read a timeline in.
Which bills you track, and every note and link you attach, live only in this app on your device. Only the bill search and stage-refresh requests go out, to Parliament's own public API - your personal notes are never sent anywhere.
Built for following legislation you're personally interested in - always check bills.parliament.uk directly for the authoritative, up-to-the-minute status of any bill before relying on it.
Most people either check bills.parliament.uk's own page for a bill each time, or keep a folder of bookmarked pages and news links. Here's how a dedicated timeline tracker compares.
