Be first to every local deal.
Marketplace alerts on your phone, within minutes of a new listing.
Pouncify is a free desktop app for Windows and macOS. Tell it once what you're hunting; it watches Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp and Kijiji and sends each fresh match to your phone.
Free to start · No account · Your data stays on your computer
Works with Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp (US) and Kijiji (Canada). One search covers them all.
From listed to yours, in minutes
The underpriced sofa, GPU or stroller is spoken for within the hour, 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 or asleep, on any of four marketplaces.
Pouncify catches it
The app on your computer matches it to your saved search and checks it's genuinely fresh rather than a stale repost.
You get the alert — and reply first
A ping lands on your phone, Telegram, email or Discord with the photo, price, location and a link straight to the listing. You message the seller first.
Watch the set-up, install to first alert: the five-minute video on the download page.
Anything people sell locally
If it's sold for local pickup, Pouncify can watch it. Furnish an apartment, outfit a workshop, gear up a hobby, or find your next car, with make, model, year, trim and price history.
Built to catch deals, not to spam you
Fresh means fresh
Alerts go out for genuinely new listings; a stale repost is recognised and kept quiet.
Every marketplace at once
One search covers Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp and Kijiji, 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, and a delete-and-repost at a new price is recognised in many cases.
Deduped and scam-flagged
The same sofa posted three times shows up once, with its history. Wanted ads and likely scams are badged.
Alerts where you already are
Telegram, email, Discord, or a push to the free iPhone and Android app, each with the photo, price and a direct link.
You set the pace
Active hours, how often it checks, one-click presets from cautious to aggressive.
Your searches stay yours
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 a Facebook login, if you add one, stays there.
No account, no signup
Download it and go: no Pouncify login, so no profile of you to build, leak or sell.
Your data stays home
The only traffic out is the alerts you set up plus anonymous crash reports and usage statistics. 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.
Fair questions, straight answers
Which marketplaces does Pouncify watch?
Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp (United States) and Kijiji (Canada). Pouncify only offers the marketplaces that operate in your region.
How fast are the alerts?
Within minutes of a listing going live. You choose how often Pouncify checks and during which hours.
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; the session stays on your computer.
What does the free version include?
One saved search, watched across every marketplace Pouncify supports in your region, with alerts on all channels. No card, no account, no trial clock.
Does Pouncify message sellers or buy things automatically?
No. Pouncify is read-only: it never contacts sellers, posts or bids. Messaging the seller is your move.
Can I get alerts on my phone?
Yes. The free Pouncify apps for iPhone and Android 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, with no Pouncify account and no cloud copy. One click in the app wipes everything.
