The cost of watching manually
Refreshing a dashboard waiting for something to change is a tax on your attention you pay all day. You're either glued to it and unproductive, or you look away at the wrong moment and miss the thing you were watching for. Neither is a real solution.
Real-time alerting removes the trade-off. You define what's worth knowing once, and the watching happens for you — the alert comes to you the instant your condition is met.
Why filtering is the whole point
An alert system that fires on everything is just a second feed to ignore. x-signal's value is the filter: triggers you set so that only meaningful events break through. Fewer, sharper alerts mean you actually trust them when they arrive.
how it works
- 01
connect your sources
Hook up the feeds and signals you want x-signal to watch.
- 02
set your triggers
Define exactly what counts as worth an alert — and what doesn't.
- 03
get pinged
Real-time alerts land the second your conditions are met.
frequently asked
- How fast are the alerts?
- Real-time — x-signal pings you the moment your trigger conditions are met, not on a delayed batch.
- Won't I just get flooded with notifications?
- No — that's the point of the filter. You set triggers so only events that matter to you break through.
- Do I have to keep an app open?
- No. The watching runs for you and the alert comes to you, so there's no dashboard to babysit.
