"ThreadWatch" is a simple Android app that notifies users when new posts appear in watched 4chan threads. It offers features like configurable refresh rates, thread sorting, and statistics viewing.

Built using 4chan's public API, it’s a great tool for those who want to keep track of conversations on less active boards.
