Hashtag Tracker: Get Alerts for New Posts on Instagram, TikTok and X

Track a hashtag on Instagram, TikTok or X and get an alert when new posts use it. Setup for each platform, costs, and what it doesn't do.

Short answer: AyeWatch alerts you when new posts use a hashtag on Instagram, TikTok or X. It's built for seeing each new post: campaign entries, user content, brand mentions, a niche you follow. It is not a hashtag analytics tool. It doesn't chart reach or volume.

Instagram

  1. Open Create a monitor → Instagram.
  2. In Monitor, choose Hashtag.
  3. Type one hashtag, like #streetphotography. No spaces.
  4. Pick how often to check and click Create monitor.
AyeWatch create monitor form with Instagram Hashtag mode and #streetphotography
Instagram → Hashtag. 2 credits per check.

Instagram Search is the other option. It finds reels from the last week that match words, like "street photography". Instagram has no account mode, so you can't get alerts for one person's posts. More in the Instagram hashtag tracker guide. Running a hashtag contest? See tracking giveaway entries.

TikTok

Open Create a monitor → TikTok, choose Hashtag and type the tag, like #booktok. It costs 2 credits a check. TikTok Search finds the newest videos from the last day that match words, for 1 credit. More in the TikTok hashtag tracker guide.

TikTok → Hashtag.

X (Twitter)

Open Create a monitor → X, keep Search and put the hashtag in the query. X lets you combine tags and operators: #buildinpublic lang:en or #launch OR #producthunt. Add a filter like "founders sharing revenue or launch milestones" to skip the noise. More in how to track hashtags on X.

The optional Only alert me about filter works on all three and adds 1 credit a check.

What you get

The first check saves the current posts as a starting point, so you are not flooded with old ones. After that, every check that finds something new sends one alert. The headline is the post itself, or "3 new from …" when several land at once, with a link to each post and its text.

Example AyeWatch alert in the web feed: 3 new TikTok videos tagged #cozygaming

Example AyeWatch push notification and alert screen on a phone: 3 new TikTok videos tagged #cozygaming
The same alert as a push notification and in the AyeWatch app.

Alerts land in your feed and as push in the AyeWatch iOS and Android app. On Pro and Pro+ you can also turn on email, Slack, or a webhook.

Can I track several hashtags in one monitor?

On X, yes, with OR in the query. On Instagram and TikTok, use one monitor per hashtag.

No. It alerts you to new posts that use the hashtag, with a link to each one.
