What you get

Built for fans, creators, and anyone who needs dependable live and upload alerts—not just whatever YouTube decides to notify. Every feature is included at no charge.

Monitor tab

The Monitor shows live streams and recent uploads. Switch display mode: live-only, uploads-only, or both. Add channels by @handle without cluttering your YouTube subs.

Live stream alerts

Optional sound, desktop notifications, and automatic opening of the live stream page—in this app or your default browser.

Flexible polling

Check channels on your schedule: 1–120 minute polling so you control load vs. freshness.

Upload alerts

RSS-based detection for new videos: notify, sound, and optional auto-open—without spamming you on the first baseline sync.

Channels & data

Manage your channel list locally. Export and import settings for backup or moving to a new PC.

Startup extras

Optional startup with Windows, start minimized to tray, pause automatic app updates, and hide promo channels on the Monitor.

Theme & updates

Dark or light UI. Built-in updater checks for new app versions (you stay in control of install timing).

Why use it?

YouTube’s subscription bell is often late or silent. Sciocore Channel Monitor runs on your schedule: it polls channel pages and surfaces live streams and recent uploads on the Monitor, including live-only, uploads-only, or combined layouts. Sound and desktop notifications help you trust what you see.

The app includes live monitoring, upload monitoring, notifications, 1–120 minute polling, auto-open, startup options, and more—all free.
