Watchers - a simple way for apps to bring their communities back home. Right now, users of sports clubs, streaming platforms, and online learning apps are forced to talk somewhere else - in Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, anywhere but inside the product they actually use. Brands lose engagement and have no way to build a real community on their own platform. We fix that. Watchers lets any product embed real-time chats, live discussions, reactions, and community rooms directly into their app or website. No separate messenger, no external platforms - users talk right where the experience happens. Our goal is simple: help apps build their own space for conversation and turn audiences into real communities.
