CatchMate watches public Telegram chats you pick and pings you when someone writes your keywords, so you can reply first. It is not TGStat: no channel analytics, no archive search. Unlike a self-hosted Telethon script, you do not give a Telegram password or session — monitoring runs on CatchMate accounts. No auto-DM, no mass messaging. Web cabinet, minus-words, group catalog, @CatchMateBot, Chrome extension. Not catchmate.com (games).
I started CatchMate in 2022 because I kept missing clients in public Telegram groups. Someone wrote “looking for a marketer” and by the time I scrolled there, the job was gone.
Telegram is where people ask for work, services, and goods in public. The first reply usually gets the job. I did not want another channel-analytics dashboard (that is TGStat). I wanted a live ping in chats I already chose.
Watching is done by CatchMate technical accounts. You do not hand over a Telegram password or session. We never write as you — no auto-replies, no mass DMs.
This is our first Product Hunt. The product has been live for years; more than 5,000 people use it. Official site is catchmatebot.com — not catchmate.com (games) and not CatchMatePro (baseball).

Happy to answer how matching, minus-words, or the catalog work — or why we do not ask for your Telegram session.
