Know what your town is doing.
Towncrier is where your town posts what it is doing — board meetings, public hearings, road closures, bids, elections and legal notices — and where you can actually find them.

For residents
Follow your town and Towncrier tells you when it posts something.
Notices are never sent overnight. Something published late in the evening reaches you the following morning, deliberately.
You do not sign up, and there is nothing to sign in to.
For municipalities
You post a notice in about ninety seconds. Residents find it by search, on your town’s page, or as a notification if they follow you.
Notices go where nobody looks
Municipal notices are legally required to be published, but they are usually published somewhere nobody looks: a newspaper of record, a bulletin board in a hallway that is open Tuesdays, a PDF three clicks deep on a website that was last redesigned in 2016. People miss hearings about their own street.

Why you can trust what you read
Every notice is published by the municipality named on it
A notice appears because a member of that municipality’s own staff signed in and published it. We do not write notices, edit them, or decide what a town publishes.
A town only appears after it asks to and proves it can
Towncrier adds one municipality at a time. We verify that the municipality is a real government body and that the request comes from inside it before anything is published.
A count, and never a list
A town can see how many devices opened a notice. It cannot see which devices, it cannot see who follows it, and it cannot see what any individual has read.
