Woot Watcher
The fastest way to track
Woot.com deals
Woot Watcher monitors Woot.com 24/7 and sends you an alert the moment a deal matches what you're looking for — before it sells out.
What it does
Woot Watcher continuously polls the Woot.com product catalog using ETags to minimize bandwidth. When a new item appears or an existing item's price drops, the system matches it against every user's saved alerts and dispatches notifications within 90 seconds.
Each alert is a keyword query — you can target a specific product name, a brand, a category, or a price ceiling. You set it once and forget it; Woot Watcher runs in the background and pings you only when something relevant goes live.
How the alert system works
Alerts use a simple query language designed for deal hunting:
cat:Electronics— match items in a specific Woot categoryprice<100— only trigger below a price threshold-refurbished— exclude items containing a term/pattern/i— use a regex for precise matching- Combine multiple rules in one alert (e.g.
Dell laptop price<400 -refurbished)
When the poller detects a match, it checks that you haven't already been notified for that exact item, then fires your enabled notification channels simultaneously.

Bag of Crap alerts
Bag of Crap (BOC) drops are among the most time-sensitive events on Woot.com — they typically sell out in under a minute. Woot Watcher detects BOC listings the moment they appear and fires a high-priority alert to all users with a matching keyword (bag of crap or BOC). This gives registered users a realistic chance to secure one before stock is gone.
No tracking. No ads. No third-party analytics. Woot Watcher is a single-purpose tool. It does not sell data, run trackers, or monetize users. The service is free and intended to stay that way.
Price history
Every deal tracked by Woot Watcher has a dedicated page at /deals/[slug] with a 90-day price history chart. This lets you see whether a "sale" is actually a drop from the usual price or just the standard listing. Price history is updated every 60 seconds alongside the live inventory poll.
