OpenMagpie is an open-source, self-hostable social listening tool for Reddit, Hacker News, and your feeds. Describe what you care about in natural language, and it surfaces the threads worth your reply, so you spend your time engaging, not searching.

You're already doing this by hand.
Every day you check Reddit, Hacker News, and a handful of feeds for the same things: someone hitting a problem your product solves, a question in your wheelhouse, a mention of you or a competitor. The best threads are gone by the time you find them, and a late reply is just noise.
Describe what matters. It watches the rest.
Three steps from a feed to the threads worth your reply.
- 01
Curate your sources
Point a feed at the subreddits, sites, and feeds where your people talk.
- 02
Describe relevance in plain language
No keyword rules or boolean syntax. Just a sentence like “someone frustrated with manual social monitoring and asking for alternatives.”
- 03
Get the matches, not the firehose
A model you run scores every new post. Matches land in a webhook or your logs while the thread is still live; everything else is dropped.
Wherever communities are having the conversation.
Public discussion
Reddit, Hacker News, and any RSS or Atom feed, news, blogs, and forums that publish one.
- Hacker News
- RSS / Atom
Communities you're in
Slack workspaces and LinkedIn you already belong to. No admin or app install required.

The open, self-hostable exception.
Social listening is a crowded market of closed SaaS. Run OpenMagpie on your own box, with your own model, for the cost of the hardware.
- Paywall, trial, or sales demo to start
- Limited to their sources and models
- Your data is locked into their platform
- Closed source, take it or leave it
- Open source, Apache 2.0
- Self-hosted on your own box
- Bring your own LLM
- Natural-language matching, scored on meaning
- Auditable, every poll, judgement, and delivery is traceable
- Free to run, you only pay for your own hardware and model
Don't want to run it yourself?
You've already got enough on your plate, keeping another system up shouldn't be yet another thing to worry about. We'll handle it, sign up to get notified when early access opens.
