Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built Steam Watcher because I kept missing the moment when friends started playing something I wanted to join.
Steam already shows friend activity, but it doesn’t give you useful mobile notifications for specific people and games. So I made an app that does exactly that.
With Steam Watcher, you can:
• choose which friends to track
• select the games you care about
• get a push notification when they start playing
The app is free for one friend and one game, with a one-time Premium unlock for unlimited tracking. No subscriptions and no ads.
This is still an early launch, so I’d really appreciate feedback on the onboarding, notifications, and any features you think are missing.
Thanks for checking it out!
Finally set it up for my buddy and it pinged me the second he loaded into our co-op night, super handy and the one-time unlock feels fair for something this simple.
love that you can pick one friend and one game for free instead of some watered down trial, makes it way easier to actually see if it's useful before committing
