livestream reminders

Never miss a livestream again.

Follow the creators you care about. We watch for you and email you before they start — and again the moment they go live.

How it works

Three steps, and the third one is us.

  1. Follow a creator. Paste a handle like @creator, a channel link, or the link to any video of theirs. You do not need an account on their platform, you do not need to be subscribed to them, and they never find out.
  2. Say when you want to hear about it. Once, an hour before. Five times, starting an hour out. The moment it starts, and not a minute earlier. Half an hour into a stream you meant to catch the beginning of. Every creator you follow can answer differently.
  3. Get told. By email, or in a Discord channel, at the times you asked for, in your own timezone.

Why not just turn on the bell?

Because the bell is a request, not a promise. YouTube decides how many notifications you get and when, notifications collapse into each other, and a channel you watch rarely gets quietly deprioritised. The bell also only fires when a stream starts, which is the one moment that is too late to make plans around.

This service watches the schedule instead. When a creator announces a stream for Thursday at eight, you can be told on Wednesday, and again an hour before, and again when it actually begins — because a scheduled start time is a guess and creators run late.

What it watches

YouTube, for scheduled streams, premieres and streams that simply appear with no warning. We are told by YouTube's own push notifications the moment a channel publishes something, and we check anything that looks like a stream on a timer that tightens as its start approaches.

Twitch, which tells us the instant a channel goes live and the instant it stops, and which lets us read a broadcaster's own published schedule — so the countdown works there exactly as it does on YouTube.

Kick, the same, with one honest gap: Kick has no schedule. Nobody announces a Kick stream in advance through anything we can read, so following a Kick channel means being told when it starts, while it runs, and when it ends — but not before.

TikTok and Facebook are not planned. Neither offers a way to ask whether somebody is live without either scraping them or getting the creator to hand over their own account, and the second is a different product.

We would rather not know who you are

There is no analytics on this site, no advertising, no third-party scripts, and no cookie banner — because there is nothing to consent to. The only cookie is the one that keeps you signed in.

You can also have an account with no email address at all. You get six words instead. We store a hash of them, a list of the creators you follow, and the Discord webhook you want messages sent to. That is the entire record. Nothing on it says who you are, and we could not tell you if you asked.

The long version, naming every column we write: what we store and what we do not.

What it costs

Nothing. There is no paid tier, no trial, and nothing to cancel. If that changes, it will change for accounts made after it changes.

More questions — how early can it tell you, what happens when a stream is cancelled, how to delete everything — are answered in the FAQ.
