KWatch.io
KWatch.io monitors social conversations for keyword mentions, sales signals, and competitor activity. Keyword monitoring covers Reddit, X, Hacker News, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube. Users can follow Reddit or Hacker News posts and comments and receive alerts when a new comment appears. AI classifies sentiment around detected keywords as positive, negative, or neutral. Alerts can arrive by email, Slack notification, or API webhook; keyword rules support included and excluded terms plus language filters. Webhooks send a JSON-encoded HTTP POST for each result. Compatible clients can use its hosted MCP server with a KWatch API key; named clients include Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code. The maker says monitoring refreshes per second; notifications usually arrive within seconds but can take up to one minute during temporary congestion. Coverage has limits: LinkedIn and Facebook comments are not monitored, Facebook groups must be public, and YouTube keyword checks use titles and descriptions rather than audio. Instagram and TikTok are not monitored. The free plan includes two Reddit and two Hacker News keyword alerts, with no tracked conversations. Paid plans start at 19.00 USD per month.
