AcctWatch monitors accounts for you. Unless you have a registered trademark, there's not much you can do to get any site to hand back a handle. Let robots check for you! Who knows when your dream handle will open? 🤙 🤖

Hi ProductHunt! Acct.Watch watches accts. 😎 I've got a pretty common handle (@stolson) that I wanted to get across all media platforms, so I built this! It also has a handy checker for handles across different media platforms if you just want to check out a new account. Hope you enjoy!

Hey Steve, nice product! I don't want to be Vincent051992 anymore. Do you plan to add other watchers? I also use startup name check for my product names by @spekulatius1984 (https://www.producthunt.com/post...), do you know it?

@yesnoornext Hi Vincent! Maybe, reach out with what you might be interested in. LinkedIn is the only other one on the map right now. I saw startupnamecheck today! Cool stuff.

Hey @stolson and @yesnoornext 👋 congrats to launching Steve! I hope you are having a great start in the indie maker world and a successful product of course! You got a nice looking product there. What's on the roadmap for acct watch? Cheers, Peter

@spekulatius1984 Hey Peter! Taking any and all requests now, we'll see what seems feasible.
Peter Thaleikis
@stolson Ah cool. I was/am just curious :)
Vincent Denise
@stolson I think it could be useful for other social media platforms like Reddit, Spectrum, Twitch and Telegram.

Really like the idea. @stolson, Tiny bug (I believe?), username length 5-100 chars, but the input field has a maxlength set to 15.

@suprb Hey Andreas! Fixed that... the actual limitation is 15. Most sites don't let you go past that, so I figured leave it at that, but forgot to change the form 😅
Andreas Pihlström
@stolson I'd remove the limitation. For example, both Instagram and Facebook allows more than 15 :)

@suprb Future enhancements!

I have always wanted this. Altho you should try a bounty business model. So say i want the name @sabba on twitter, I enter my account details but I am not charged unless the name becomes free. At this point the user is charges. Just a thought...

@sab8a Hey Sabba - sorry if anything was confusing. The bounty business model is actually the one in place! See the pricing page: https://acct.watch/pricing Per Account ($5/account): Only charged when the account opens up! Hope that answers your question :)

@stolson Ohhhh. I think it might be worth testing your design with users and also talking with a UX/UI designer and getting feedback. I get the idea and i really like it, but I feel your website is a little confusing. Also terms of messaging I made a few small edits that you can find here. https://imgur.com/a/W2eeZzi

Interesting product congrats! > I deleted the account I wanted to keep a eye on and now when I try to add a new one it says that I can't activate it, can you have a look? Thank you!

Merrill Reisemberg
@stolson I will! Thanks for your time
