Marketplace alerts without handing anyone your Facebook login

Want marketplace alerts without giving anyone your Facebook password? Pouncify watches from your own computer, needs no Facebook login to start, and sends every new match to your phone within minutes.

Check these first

  1. Where does the watching happen? On a company's servers, or on your own computer? Pouncify watches from yours.
  2. Does it need your Facebook password at all? Pouncify does not: it watches Facebook Marketplace without a login.
  3. If you do sign in, where does the session live? With Pouncify, in a browser profile on your own machine that is never sent anywhere — and signing in is optional.
  4. What leaves your machine? With Pouncify, your logins, listings and location stay on your computer; only the alerts you set up, plus anonymous crash reports and usage statistics, ever leave it.

Private by design

There is no Pouncify account, the listings Pouncify finds are stored on your own computer, and the app is read-only — it never messages sellers, posts, bids or buys.

New listings on your phone, within minutes

Pouncify is a free Windows and macOS app that watches Facebook Marketplace — and Craigslist, OfferUp in the United States and Kijiji in Canada — from your own computer. Tell it once what you are hunting, and it sends each genuinely new listing that matches straight to your phone within minutes of it going live, with the photo, the price and where it is — or to Telegram, email or Discord if you prefer. There is no account with us, no marketplace login required, and your logins, listings and location stay on your computer.

Questions

Does Pouncify ever see my Facebook password?

No. If you choose to sign in, you type your password into Facebook's own login page inside a browser window Pouncify opens on your computer. The app never sees or stores it, and the session stays in a local browser profile on your machine.

Can I use Pouncify without logging in to Facebook at all?

Yes. Pouncify watches Facebook Marketplace without a login; Craigslist, OfferUp and Kijiji need no login either. Signing in to Facebook is optional and finds more, fresher listings over a bigger radius.

Where are my listings and logins kept?

On your own computer. There is no Pouncify account, and anonymous usage statistics never include your location, your logins or your listings.
