  description

  KickAlert tracks the Kick.com streamers you follow and alerts you the
  moment any of them goes live — even at 3 AM, even when you have the tab
  closed. Works silently in the background, consumes virtually no resources,
  and stays out of your way until something happens.
  
  ━━━ NOTIFICATIONS ━━━
  - Desktop notification the moment a followed channel starts streaming
  - Custom sound options (main / secondary / silent) per channel
  - Upload your own alert sound
  - Do-Not-Disturb window (time range) for quiet nights
  - Viewer anomaly alerts (sudden spike or drop during a stream)
  
  ━━━ AUTO-LAUNCH ━━━

  - All data stored locally; optional cloud sync via your browser sync
  - Fully open-source — github.com/segelferd/kick-alert
  
  Free forever. No ads. No tracking. Just alerts.

  Your favorite streamer goes live at 3 AM. You're asleep. You miss it.
  KickAlert makes sure that never happens again.
  
  It quietly watches the Kick channels you follow and pings you the instant any of them starts streaming — running silently in the background, using almost no resources, staying invisible until something actually happens.
  
  ⚡ INSTANT, REAL-TIME ALERTS
  Built on a live WebSocket connection — no slow polling, no lag. The notification fires the moment a stream starts.
  - Per-channel sounds: main / secondary / silent
  - Upload your own alert sound
  - Do-Not-Disturb hours for quiet nights
  - Viewer spike & drop alerts during a stream
  
  🚀 AUTO-LAUNCH
  - Auto-open chosen channels in a new tab when they go live
  - Smart duplicate-tab guard — never spams tabs
  - Optional auto-unmute on launch
  
  💬 CHAT FILTERS (optional)
  Take back control of chat with 9 toggleable filters:
  - Hide bots, spam, copy-pastas & emoji floods
  - Word / user blocklists
  - Highlight your keywords and favorite users
  - @mention alerts — get pinged when someone tags you
  - Broadcaster-message alerts
  Choose "hide" or "blur" per filter.
  
  📊 MULTI-STREAM & TRENDS
  - Watch up to 4 channels side-by-side in one tab
  - Live viewer-count charts with automatic spike/drop detection
  
  🌍 13 LANGUAGES
  English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Français, Español, Português, Italiano, Русский, 日本語, 한국어, 中文, العربية, Čeština — auto-detected.
  
  🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN
  - No analytics. No telemetry. No third-party servers.
  - Talks only to kick.com
  - All data stays local (optional browser sync)
  - 100% open-source: github.com/segelferd/kick-alert
  
  Free forever. No ads. No tracking. Just alerts.
