You're asleep. You miss it. KickAlert makes sure that never happens again. It quietly watches the Kick channels you follow and pings you the instant any of them starts streaming — running silently in the background, using almost no resources, staying invisible until something actually happens. ⚡ INSTANT, REAL-TIME ALERTS Built on a live WebSocket connection — no slow polling, no lag. The notification fires the moment a stream starts. • Per-channel sounds: main / secondary / silent • Upload your own alert sound • Do-Not-Disturb hours for quiet nights • Viewer spike & drop alerts during a stream 🤖 BOT DETECTION A lightweight scoring model looks at chat pace and viewer-to-chatter ratio to flag channels that might be running inflated numbers. • Live score per channel, colour-coded • Runs entirely in your browser — no data sent anywhere • Spot suspicious channels before you waste a click 🚀 AUTO-LAUNCH • Auto-open chosen channels in a new tab when they go live • Smart duplicate-tab guard — never spams tabs • Optional auto-unmute on launch 📷 CHANNEL PREVIEWS See a live thumbnail, viewer count and bot score right in your channel list. • One glance before you click through • Optional — off by default 💬 CHAT FILTERS (optional) Take back control of chat with 9 toggleable filters: • Hide bots, spam, copy-pastas & emoji floods • Word / user blocklists • Highlight your keywords and favorite users • @mention alerts — get pinged when someone tags you • Broadcaster-message alerts Choose "hide" or "blur" per filter. 🚫 AD BLOCKING (optional) Skip pre-roll and mid-roll ads on Kick streams. • Off by default, one tap in Settings to enable • Experimental — depends on Kick's internal player structure 📊 MULTI-STREAM & TRENDS • Watch up to 4 channels side-by-side in one tab • Live viewer-count charts with automatic spike/drop detection 🌍 13 LANGUAGES English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Français, Español, Português, Italiano, Русский, 日本語, 한국어, 中文, العربية, Čeština — auto-detected. 🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No analytics.
