We propose a scheme for continuously measuring an evolving quantum phase with precision beyond the standard quantum limit of $\Delta \phi_\text{SQL} = 1/\sqrt{N}$ radians, where $N$ is the number of pseudospins. Quantum non-demolition measurements of a lossy cavity mode interacting with an atomic ensemble are used to directly probe the phase of the collective atomic spin without converting it into a population difference. Unlike traditional Ramsey measurement sequences, our scheme allows for real-time tracking of time-varying signals. As a bonus, spin-squeezed states develop naturally, providing real-time phase estimation significantly more precise than $\Delta \phi_\text{SQL}$.
