Be first to every local deal.
Pouncify is a free desktop app for marketplace alerts. It watches Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp and Kijiji for you: tell it once what you're hunting, and it checks every marketplace around you and alerts you within minutes of a fresh listing, before the good ones are gone.
Free to start · No account · Your data stays on your computer
Watches Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp (US) and Kijiji (Canada) — one search covers them all.
From listed to yours, in minutes
Good deals don't wait. On a busy marketplace the underpriced sofa, GPU or stroller is spoken for within the hour — usually by whoever saw it first. Pouncify makes that person you.
Someone lists a great deal
A $600 sofa goes up for $150 across town — while you're at work, asleep, or living your life. On any given day it could appear on any of four marketplaces.
Pouncify catches it
The app on your computer spots the new listing against your saved search and checks it's genuinely fresh — not a stale repost surfacing late.
You get the alert — and reply first
A ping lands where you already are — Telegram, email or Discord, or a push on your phone — with the photo, price, location and a link straight to the listing. You message the seller while everyone else is still scrolling.
Anything people sell locally
Pouncify is category-agnostic: if it's listed for local pickup, it can be watched. Furnish an apartment, outfit a workshop, gear up a hobby, or find your next car — vehicles go deepest, with make, model, year, trim and price history.
Built to catch deals, not to spam you
Fresh means fresh
Pouncify alerts on genuinely new listings, not stale reposts — so you're not racing to a sofa that sold last Tuesday.
Every marketplace at once
One search covers Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp and Kijiji — region-aware, so you only see the ones that serve your country.
Price drops & relists
Every listing's price history is tracked. A drop on something you're watching pings you; a delete-and-repost at a new price is caught in many cases, not counted as "new".
Deduped and scam-flagged
The same sofa posted three times shows up once, with its history. Wanted ads and likely scams are badged before you waste a message.
Alerts where you already are
Telegram, email, Discord, or a push to the free iPhone and Android app — with the photo, price and a direct link. No digest to dig through.
You set the pace
Active hours, how often it checks, one-click presets from cautious to aggressive — it behaves exactly as carefully as you tell it to.
Your searches stay yours
Deal hunting reveals a lot — where you live, what you drive, what your kids need. Pouncify keeps your listings, your logins and your location on your own computer.
Runs on your computer
The watching happens on your own computer, and your Facebook login, if you add one, never leaves it.
No account, no signup
Download it and go. There's no Pouncify login, so there's no profile of you to build, leak or sell. Your marketplace sessions never leave the machine.
Your data stays home
The only traffic out is the alerts you configure plus anonymous crash reports and usage statistics — never your listings, logins or location. The full privacy story fits on one page.
Every marketplace, one calm screen
Fresh finds in a sortable grid — price history, freshness and red flags at a glance, on Windows and macOS, in light or dark.
Shown with demo data. Your listings come from your own searches.
Fair questions, straight answers
How fast are the alerts?
Within minutes of a listing going live on the marketplace. You choose how often Pouncify checks and during which hours, and each alert arrives with the photo, price, location and a link straight to the listing.
Which marketplaces does Pouncify watch?
Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp (United States) and Kijiji (Canada). Pouncify only offers the marketplaces that operate in your region, and one saved search covers all of them at once.
Do I need accounts on the marketplaces?
No. Craigslist, OfferUp and Kijiji need no account, and Facebook Marketplace works without one too. Signing in to Facebook is optional and finds more, fresher listings over a bigger radius; you do it once inside Pouncify's browser window, and that session stays on your computer — it is never sent anywhere.
What does the free version include?
One saved search, watched across every marketplace Pouncify supports in your region, checked as often as every few minutes during the daily hours you choose, with alerts on all channels. No card, no account and no trial clock — install it and it starts watching.
Does Pouncify message sellers or buy things automatically?
No. Pouncify is read-only by design: it never contacts sellers, never posts, never bids. It tells you the moment something good appears — messaging the seller is your move.
Can I get alerts on my phone?
Yes. Free Pouncify apps for iPhone (App Store) and Android (Google Play) pair with the desktop app: you scan a QR code once, then get push alerts and can manage searches from anywhere. Telegram, email and Discord alerts work on any phone as well.
Where is my data stored?
In a local database on your computer, under your own user profile. There is no Pouncify account and no cloud copy — your saved listings, your location and your marketplace sessions stay with you. One click in the app wipes everything.
Which computers does it run on?
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), and macOS on Apple Silicon (M1 or later). Pouncify sits quietly in the tray or menu bar and watches while your computer is on, and the free iPhone and Android apps pair with it so you can follow along from anywhere.
What makes Pouncify different?
It runs on your own Windows or macOS computer: your logins, listings and location stay on your machine, one saved search covers Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp and Kijiji, and the checking pace is yours to set.
Why not just use Facebook Marketplace's own saved-search notifications?
Pouncify checks Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp and Kijiji from one saved search, on a pace you set, and alerts your phone only when a listing is genuinely new — with the photo, price and location, so the alert is worth acting on.
Pounce on the next one
Free to start, no account. Install it on your computer, then add the phone app for alerts on the go.
Pouncify does the watching on your computer — the phone apps are a companion, so you can check finds, pause a search and get alerts while you're out. Install steps and pairing. Questions? Write to [email protected].
