How drops break
Every fan we talked to has had at least one of these happen. Most have had all three.
SCENE/01
Your favorite artist posted. The feed decided you didn’t need to see it. You find out 6 hours later from a meme.
SCENE/02
A free restock bot wakes you up. You buy nothing. The page was always sold out. Now you don’t trust any of them.
SCENE/03
Someone in your group chat already bought it. You’re not in their tier. You’re refreshing the page they’re shipping from.
How it works · 3 parts
The bot watches every public signal. Other fans confirm it’s real. It lands before the cousin texts you.
01
We poll store product endpoints, parse sitemaps, diff pages, scan social posts, and read public feeds. Five signals corroborate one drop.
02
Every alert ships with three buttons. Reports update reputation, reputation gates the next alert. Waze for merch.
03
Push gets throttled. SMS doesn’t. We fan out in under 30s, with quiet hours and rate limits you control.
The moat
Every other restock bot guesses. Ours learns from the people on the other end of the alert. The more you tap, the earlier you see drops.

Frequently asked
No. We read publicly available store state — the same pages anyone with a browser can visit. We never auto-purchase, never use stolen credentials, and never circumvent rate limits. The only thing we automate is reading.
We track 18 artists today and add new ones every week, driven by waitlist signal. Suggest one when you sign up — if 50+ fans request it, it ships in the next sprint.
No. Rate-limited at 6 alerts per day by default. Quiet hours default to 11pm–8am. Per-follow channel toggles (SMS / push / email / digest-only). One bad day and you can throttle the noise to zero.
That’s what the verification button is for. If the drop is fake, fans tap False alarm and the SMS chain stops — usually within 30 seconds of the first report.
Like shit. That’s why we built this.
