Kijiji alerts, minutes after an ad goes up
Pouncify is a free Windows and macOS app that watches Kijiji for the things you are hunting and alerts you within minutes of a fresh ad — on your phone, Telegram, email or Discord. Kijiji needs no account, and the watching happens on your own computer in Canada.
What Kijiji's own alerts do
Kijiji lets you save a search and receive alerts for it by email or in the Kijiji app. They cover one search at a time and arrive on Kijiji's schedule. Pouncify does not replace them; it gives you one watcher for Kijiji, Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist together, on a pace you set, with price and repost history attached.
How Pouncify watches Kijiji
Kijiji needs no login, so Pouncify reads the public search results and ads for your area — no account, nothing to get restricted. Every ad carries the time it went live and, for most ads, exact map coordinates, so Pouncify knows precisely how new an ad is and how far away it is before it alerts you.
Kijiji is a low-risk marketplace to watch, so it can be checked every few minutes at a pace you choose. Kijiji serves Canada, so Pouncify offers it to Canadian users and hides it elsewhere; distances show in kilometres.
What you get
- Alerts where you already are — Telegram, email, Discord, or a push to the free iPhone and Android app, each with the photo, price, location and a link straight to the listing.
- Fresh means fresh — alerts are gated on the listing's real posting time, not on when Pouncify first saw it, so you are not racing to something that sold last week.
- Price history and reposts — every listing's price is tracked; a drop on something you are watching pings you, and a delete-and-repost is recognised as the same item.
- One search, every marketplace — the same saved search also watches the other marketplaces Pouncify supports in your region.
- Any category — furniture, tools, bikes, cameras, baby gear, PC parts, appliances; if it is sold for local pickup it can be watched. Vehicles go deepest, with make, model, year and price history.
Setting it up
- Install Pouncify on Windows or macOS from the download page. There is no account to create.
- Add a search: what you are looking for, where, and how far you will travel. Nothing. No Kijiji account, no login. Kijiji is offered to users in Canada.
- Pick where alerts should go — Telegram, email, Discord or the phone app — review the pacing limits, and turn the schedule on. Your computer does the watching from then on.
Limits, plainly
Your computer has to be on for the watching to happen; the phone app pairs with it rather than replacing it. Alerts arrive within minutes, not seconds, because Pouncify paces its checks to keep your accounts and your connection safe. Pouncify is read-only: it never messages sellers, posts, bids or buys — the reply is your move.
