How drops break

You’re not slow. The signal is.

Every fan we talked to has had at least one of these happen. Most have had all three.

The social scroll

Your favorite artist posted. The feed decided you didn’t need to see it. You find out 6 hours later from a meme.

The cousin’s text

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

A pipeline that listens. Fans who verify. SMS that gets through.

We watch every public signal. Other fans confirm it’s real. It lands before the cousin texts you.

Multi-source detection

Fans verify every drop

Every alert ships with three buttons. Reports update reputation, reputation gates the next alert. Waze for merch.

SMS, not just push

Push gets throttled. SMS doesn’t. We fan out in under 30s, with quiet hours and rate limits you control.

The moat

The 3-button tap is the whole product.

We catch the signal. Fans confirm it’s real. Every tap sharpens the next alert, and the more you verify, the earlier drops reach you.

Frequently asked

Answered head-on.

What artists are supported?+

More than 600 artists and brands across pop, hip-hop, rock, R&B, country, Latin, EDM, K-pop, and jazz. If someone is missing, search for them in the app. We see the gaps and the most-searched names get added first.

Will I get spammed?+

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.

What if the alert is wrong?+

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.

What does the cousin’s text feel like?+

Like shit. That’s why we built this.
