Never miss a live. Never lift a finger.

Lurk Buddy automatically monitors your favorite streamers across Twitch, YouTube, and Kick — and opens their streams the moment they go live. No babysitting. No missed drops.

Lurk Buddy dashboard

Everything you need to lurk smart.

Built for streamers, fans, and drop hunters. Zero configuration, maximum automation.

Opens streams instantly

Opens tabs automatically the moment a channel goes live. No manual checking, no missed streams.

Invisible to platforms

Keeps streams active even when minimized. Platforms always think you're actively watching.

Silent but counted

Muted by default, but audio is logically enabled. Drops and watch-time always register correctly.

One app, all platforms

Track channels on Twitch, YouTube, and Kick from a single unified interface. No switching required.

Graceful cleanup

Closes tabs when streams end, with a configurable grace period (default 90s) to handle brief disconnects.

Low resource mode

Low-bandwidth mode keeps resource usage minimal while maintaining reliable stream detection and tracking.

Set it and forget it.

Three steps and you're done. Forever.
