Never miss a steal on Facebook Marketplace again. Scout instantly alerts you about products you're interested in, saving you hours spent scrolling and refreshing for new listings.
I'm excited to share Scout, an app I built to solve the pain of constantly missing great deals on Facebook Marketplace.
Marketplace notifications are notoriously unreliable — they just don’t work. Every good deal disappears fast, forcing you into an endless loop of repeatedly refreshing, hoping you won't miss out. I experienced this frustration myself, and knew there had to be a better solution.
Here's how Scout helps:
⚡️ Instant, reliable notifications the moment your desired items go live. 🎯 Powerful filters: set must-have or ignored keywords to cut out irrelevant results. 👀 Preview matching results upfront — so you know exactly what notifications you'll receive. 💻 Native iPhone, iPad and Mac apps with seamless syncing, so alerts reach you on any device. ✨ Beautiful, minimal design optimised for simplicity and ease.
Scout saves you time, frustration, and ensures you never miss a great find again.
Especially curious to hear how Scout can make your Marketplace shopping better!
Love the concept, super clean and fresh. I work with early-stage teams on visual stuff (branding, content, etc.) so it’s always cool to see great design in new products.
Wishing you lots of growth ahead!

Are you scraping Fb Marketplace? And if so, aren't you worried to get sued by Facebook?
I think this is also great to track if your stolen bicycle is resold on Facebook marketplace! (Happens often..)
This is magical @mattjis , congrats! Curious how do you think of expanding this to other channels like Amazon? It would be pretty cool if this becomes a cross-channel shopping agent though I am not sure about the technical complexity.

Who hunted Scout: Marketplace Alerts?
Scout: Marketplace Alerts was hunted by Mattijs. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
