Describe the event
Type it like you'd tell a friend: "when the PS6 is announced," "when my flight drops below $450," "when YC opens W26 applications." Plain English, no special syntax.

We set up the watch
We identify the right sources: official pages, news sites, relevant platforms. Each watch gets a checking strategy built for that specific event.
- 03
We check, quietly
Once a day we scan the web and ask: did it happen yet? If not, we wait and check again tomorrow. No updates, no noise, no inbox clutter.
- 04
One email when it's true
You get a single short email with a brief summary and a source link. The watch retires itself; no need to unsubscribe.
Example ping
When your condition is met, you get one email. Here is what it looks like.
Hey, you asked me to email you when the PS6 is officially announced.
It just happened. Here is what I found:
Two more sources are reporting the same: reuters.com, polygon.com.
This watch is now retired, but you can set up another one.

Common questions
- How often do you check?
- Once a day. We scan the relevant sources every 24 hours and email you the moment the condition is met.
- What do I need to sign up?
- Just an email address. No account, no password, no app to install.
- What happens after the event occurs?
- You get one email with a short summary and a source link. The watch is retired and we will not email you again for the same event.
- Can I cancel a watch?
- Yes. Every confirmation email includes an unsubscribe link that cancels the watch immediately.
- What kinds of events work best?
- Events with a clear, verifiable public signal: a product announcement, a price crossing a threshold, a date being confirmed. Vague or private events are harder to detect reliably.
