About Pouncify
What Pouncify is, who makes it, and how the guides are made.
What Pouncify is
Pouncify is a free desktop app for Windows and macOS that watches Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp (United States) and Kijiji (Canada) for whatever you are hunting and alerts you within minutes of a fresh local listing, on Telegram, email, Discord, or as a push to the free iPhone and Android apps. It runs on your own computer, needs no account, and keeps your searches, listings and any marketplace login on that machine.
Any category people sell for local pickup can be watched: a sofa, a bike, a camera, a GPU, a stroller, power tools, a used car. Vehicles come with make, model, year and price history.
Key facts
- Read-only: it never messages sellers, posts, bids or buys.
- One saved search covers every marketplace that serves your country; how often it checks, and during which hours, is yours to set.
- Alerts go out for genuinely new listings; reposts are recognised in many cases.
- Craigslist, OfferUp and Kijiji need no login, and Facebook Marketplace works without one; signing in to Facebook is optional, and the session stays on your computer.
- No ads. The app sends anonymous crash reports and usage counts, never searches with locations, logins or listings; this site uses cookie-free Cloudflare Web Analytics. Privacy, in plain language.
Who makes it
Pouncify is made by Bellvenor LLC, a small independent software company in Washington State, United States; the desktop app is signed and the phone apps published under that name. Questions, bugs and ideas: [email protected].
How the guides are made
The guides are written by the Pouncify team, the people who build the app, with AI writing assistance. Every statement about a marketplace's own alerts comes from that marketplace's help pages and is linked where it appears; every statement about Pouncify describes a shipped feature. Each guide shows the date it was published and the date it last changed. Screenshots come from a demo install on sample data. Something out of date? Write to [email protected] and we will fix it.
Questions
Is Pouncify free?
Yes, to start: one saved search across every marketplace in your region, alerts on every channel, no card and no account. One paid plan, Pounce, unlocks more searches and around-the-clock checking, bought inside the desktop app.
What is Pouncify not?
Not a cloud service, not a bot that messages sellers, and not a vehicles-only tool. The desktop app does the watching; the free phone apps pair with it and show its listings, alerts and searches.
Which computers and phones does it run on?
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and macOS 13 or later (Apple Silicon or Intel). The free companion apps run on iPhone and Android and pair with the desktop app by scanning a QR code.
