Stop losing auctions you forgot about. Aucword is a smarter way to watch eBay auctions. Connect your eBay account, and your entire watchlist syncs automatically with real-time countdowns, price alerts, and notifications that actually tell you when to act. Built by a sports card collector who got tired of missing auctions that ended at 2am. LIVE COUNTDOWN ALERTS Aucword sends smart notifications at just the right moments; hours before, minutes before, and right as an auction is about to close. Each alert shows the item name, current price, and exactly how much time is left. No more guessing, no more "I forgot to check." LOCK SCREEN LIVE ACTIVITY Your hottest auctions scroll right on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island using iOS Live Activities. See countdowns, prices, and ending times without even opening the app. Glance down and you know exactly what's happening. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Add Aucword widgets to your Home Screen for an at-a-glance view of your most active auctions. Small, medium, and large sizes available — each showing live countdown timers and current prices. TARGET ALERTS Set a target price on any item and Aucword will ping you if the auction is still hitting that sweet spot. Perfect for Buy It Now listings or auctions that aren't getting much action yet. AUTOMATIC WATCHLIST SYNC Connect your eBay account once and your watchlist stays in sync. New items you watch on eBay show up in Aucword automatically. Items that end get cleared. No manual importing. WHY COLLECTORS LOVE IT Sports card collectors watch dozens of auctions at once — PSA graded cards, rookie lots, hobby boxes. eBay's native notifications are noisy and easy to miss. Aucword cuts through the clutter with only the alerts that matter, timed to when you actually need to decide.

Pullhound is the fastest way to know what your cards are worth - and never miss a drop. PRICE-CHECK BY PHOTO Scan any card to see its real recent SOLD prices, not just what sellers are asking. The card back's number and year pin the exact card, so you get an accurate value in seconds. TRACK YOUR COLLECTION Add the cards you own and watch your portfolio value update automatically from the market. See your gains, your best cards, and a value-over-time chart. WATCH ANY PLAYER, ANY SPORT Follow any player across baseball, basketball, football, hockey and more. Get alerted the moment a new card lists. SPOT THE DEALS Pullhound flags live listings priced below the going rate, plus price-target hits and ending-soon alerts - so you buy right. KNOW EVERY VARIATION Look up any card's full parallel ladder - every color, print run, and how scarce each one is. Plus a plain-English glossary of every hobby term (refractor, 1st Bowman, /50, and more). MAKE A FAIR OFFER Buying a lot? Snap one photo and Pullhound values each card from recent comps and suggests a fair offer range. AI ASSISTANT Ask about your collection - your most valuable card, how your portfolio is doing, what to consider selling. No spreadsheets. No guesswork. Point your camera and know. Pullhound may earn a commission on eBay purchases made through the app, at no extra cost to you. eBay is a trademark of eBay Inc.
