About this app

AlertWatch monitors your incoming SMS and email notifications for keywords you choose and sounds a loud, full-screen alarm the moment a match is found — even when your phone is locked.

HOW IT WORKS

Set the keywords that matter to you. AlertWatch watches incoming SMS and email notifications in the background and automatically triggers an alarm when a keyword is detected. No manual checking, no missed alerts.

WHO USES IT

On-call engineers and IT staff who need to know immediately when a monitoring system sends an alert by text or email. Business owners who want an instant alarm when a payment or order notification arrives. Anyone who receives time-sensitive alerts and cannot afford to miss them.

Full-screen alarm that works even on the lock screen

Alert history with timestamps

FREE TRIAL

PRIVACY

AlertWatch reads notification content on your device only to check for your configured keywords. Nothing is sent off your device, and no message content is transmitted or shared with any third party.
