Are you constantly switching between an RSS reader, an uptime monitor, a social-listening tool, and several other services just to keep track of the information that matters? Monitoring multiple websites and platforms can quickly become time-consuming, expensive, and difficult to manage.
That's where follow.it comes in. It brings different types of monitoring and alerts together in one platform, allowing you to follow websites, software projects, social networks, financial data, and much more from a single account.
follow.it originally became known as a service for following websites and RSS feeds. Today, it goes far beyond conventional RSS by offering specialized feeds that automatically check for important events and notify you when something changes.
For website owners, follow.it can monitor downtime, SSL certificate expiry, domain expiry, WHOIS changes, broken links, blacklists, DMARC compliance, and website changes. Its website offline alert, for example, can tell you when a site becomes unavailable and when it comes back online.
Developers can use its GitHub feed to follow releases, commits, issues, pull requests, and other repository activity. Separate alerts are available for newly disclosed GitHub vulnerabilities.
WordPress professionals can monitor plugin updates, new plugins, theme changes, repository rankings, and security problems. The Plugin Watch feed makes it possible to follow changes affecting selected WordPress plugins without repeatedly checking their individual pages.
For founders and marketers, follow.it can track mentions and keywords across X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, YouTube, and Hacker News. It also offers feeds for Product Hunt launches, app reviews, and new AppSumo deals. The X alerts feed, for example, can notify you when a selected company, competitor, or subject appears in a new post.
Financial feeds cover exchange rates, cryptocurrencies, stocks, commodities, fuel prices, blockchain activity, and central-bank decisions. With the currency tracker, you can receive regular reports or get alerted when an exchange rate reaches a selected value.
You can explore the complete collection in the follow.it API feed directory.
A useful part of follow.it is the control it gives you over what reaches you. Depending on the feed, you can apply keywords, thresholds, schedules, and other filters. Alerts can be delivered through individual emails, daily or weekly summaries, RSS, Telegram, browser notifications, mobile push notifications, and other supported channels.
The platform can also be used to follow ordinary websites, blogs, podcasts, and YouTube channels. Date feeds help you remember important events, number feeds track selected figures, and courses deliver learning material over time.
Who would benefit most from follow.it? Website owners can consolidate technical alerts, developers can follow projects and vulnerabilities, agencies can monitor multiple client sites, and founders can track mentions, competitors, and product reviews. It can also help investors, researchers, and anyone who regularly checks several sources for important changes.
For a limited time, the follow.it lifetime deal on AppSumo provides lifetime access to all current premium reader features, starting at $49. Future premium features developed for readers are included as well, with several tiers available depending on how many feeds you want to follow.
New AppSumo customers can use the discount code followit10 to save an additional 10%.
Unlike many products offering lifetime deals, follow.it is not a newly launched platform. It has been operating for more than ten years, is used by over 100,000 publishers, and forms part of the wider Inisev product portfolio.
If you are tired of juggling separate monitoring services or repeatedly checking websites and platforms manually, follow.it offers a practical way to bring those tasks into one place.
