Sublookout monitors any keyword across any subreddit and sends you a Mac notification the instant a matching post is made. Brand mentions, leads, deals, listings — you never miss them.
Who uses it
People use Sublookout to catch things that would otherwise slip through — faster than any manual search.
Monitor r/forhire and r/entrepreneur for "need a developer" or "looking for designer." Be the first reply every time.
Catch sublets and no-fee listings the moment they're posted on r/NYCapartments. Rooms go in hours — speed matters.
r/hardwareswap listings for RTX 4080s sell in minutes. Sublookout pings you the second one is posted.
Find candidates actively looking on r/forhire and r/cscareerquestions. No recruiter fees.
