   Highly recommend for anyone to monitor keywords

   I use it every day. F5Bot is amazing at notifying for specific keywords. The only downside is that it doesn't have context around your keywords, so you will get more emails with keywords than expected. It really depends on your keywords and how you monitor them. Overall it's a high quality monitoring service.

   👍 Pros:    Free to use|High quality|Reliable

   Pretty useful little tool for catching reddit mentions :)

   Easy to setup and forget, would definitely recommend

   F5Bot is awesome. Compared to similar services, it delivers notifications in nearly real-time. I get notified about online discussions mentioning my product as they happen, not a day later.

• 10 Best Google Alerts Alternatives in 2026 (Free and Paid)

  F5Bot does one thing well: it monitors Reddit, Hacker News, and Lobsters for your keywords, then emails you within minutes. This is a blind spot for both Google Alerts and most social listening tools. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• How to Successfully Promote and Market an API

  Sign up for F5Bot and set up keyword monitoring for your Problem space across Reddit, Hacker News, and Lobsters. For example, if you're building a payments API, setup monitoring on "Payments API", "Stripe", "payments via API", "API for Payments", and anything else your buyer might be searching for.

• Issue with mouse hover

  I've just installed Sonoma and it works mostly ok. Though I've ran into this issue where the OS doesn't seem to know where my mouse is until I click. The cursor itself is displayed where it should be and all, but if I right click something on the dock then I can't really click anything in the menu. If I hold the right click and then hover to what I want to do in the menu then it works. I also went to the website... Source: over 2 years ago
