Add Only alert me about to any source and AI reads each new post, alerting you only on the ones that match. It adds 1 credit a check.

WHAT YOU GET

What's new on YouTube,
not the whole feed.

Each update has the video's title and a link to it on YouTube. Several uploads in one check arrive together in one alert.

  • The first check sends the latest posts, so you see the monitor work right away.
  • After that, a check alerts you only when something new is posted.
  • Failed checks give their credits back.
Example AyeWatch push notification and alert screen for a new upload from the made-up YouTube channel Orbit Science
Example alert. The account and posts are made up.

What to monitor
on YouTube.

01

03

Competitors

A competitor's channel, filtered to feature launches and pricing videos.

Monitor YouTube

Updates,
where you already work

Push notifications and your feed on every plan. Paid plans add email, Slack, Discord, and webhooks.

MONITORING SPEED

A different pace
for every topic.

Stay close to an urgent topic. Check a quieter one less often. Each monitor has its own schedule.

LET AYEWATCH DECIDE

Auto

Checks more often while a topic is busy and slows down when it goes quiet. You can see why it chose a pace on each topic.

Daily and slower on Free Preview.

CHOOSE YOUR SCHEDULE

Custom

Pick your own frequency, from ASAP mode to once a year. Your plan sets the fastest interval you can choose.

GOOD TO KNOW

What it doesn't do
on YouTube.

  • Comments aren't read.
  • Private and unlisted videos never show up.
  • Search looks at videos uploaded today, so it alerts on new videos, not old ones.
  • One channel per monitor. Videos, Shorts and live streams are separate sources.

you already check.

A few things
to know

Why do I miss YouTube notifications?

YouTube can hold back bell notifications based on your activity and device settings. A monitor checks the channel on the schedule you pick and alerts you itself.

Do I need a YouTube API key?

No. You paste the channel link and AyeWatch does the reading.

Can I get new uploads by email or Slack?

Yes, on Pro and Pro+. Free Preview sends alerts to your feed and the AyeWatch app.

Will I get old videos?

The first check sends up to 5 of the latest posts, or only the ones that match your filter, so you can see the monitor work. After that you only hear about new posts.

How much does YouTube monitoring cost?

Channel videos and Search use 1 credit a check. Shorts, Live streams and Community posts use 2 credits a check. Only alert me about adds 1 credit. Free Preview includes 3 credits to try it, with no card. Paid plans add more credits and faster checks.
