Getting Started with Watch My Subs

Matt · April 1, 2026

Setting up Watch My Subs takes less than a minute. Here's how to get started.

Step 1: Add a Subreddit

Open the app and tap the + button. Type in the name of any subreddit you want to monitor — for example, r/deals or r/buildapcsales.

Step 2: Set Your Keywords

Keywords let you filter posts so you only get notified about what matters. If you're watching r/deals, you might add keywords like "AirPods" or "MacBook" to only get alerts for those products.

Step 3: Choose Your Speed

Select how frequently the app checks for new posts. The fastest option checks every 30 seconds — perfect for time-sensitive deals.

That's It

You'll start receiving push notifications as soon as a matching post appears. Each notification includes a preview so you can decide if it's worth opening without leaving what you're doing.
