Growth tools · Trend Spotter

Know what's hot before everyone else makes a video about it.

The difference between 300 views and 30,000 is usually not production quality — it's timing and topic. Trend Spotter watches YouTube trending, Google Trends, Reddit, and your favorite news feeds, filters everything through your niche, and hands you one ranked list of what's gaining momentum right now.

The problem it solves

Ride the wave while it's rising, not after it breaks

Trends move faster than you can browse

By the time a topic shows up in your feed, thousands of creators have already covered it. The winners caught it on the way up.

Signals live in different places

YouTube shows what's viral, Reddit shows what's about to be, Google Trends shows what people search for. Checking all three daily is a part-time job.

Raw trends aren't your trends

A global trending list is 95% noise for your channel. What matters is what's moving in your niche.

How to use it

Open page. Pick trend. Make video.

Step 1

Set up your niche profile

Keywords, region, category, subreddits — or just pick a preset and tweak it.

Connect your trend sources

Add your own free API keys for the sources you want — a guided, one-time setup. Your data streams stay private and entirely yours. RSS feeds work instantly with no key at all.

Step 3

Scan your daily list

Trends arrive pre-ranked by momentum. Filter by source with one click — just YouTube, just Reddit, and so on.

Step 4

Act on what you see

Create Video → straight into production, pre-filled. Save as Idea → park it on your Idea Board. Open source → read the original post, video, or article first.

From trend to published video

Without leaving the platform

Standalone trends tools end with "good luck making something about this." Trend Spotter ends with a finished video: the same platform that spots the opportunity also writes the script, generates the visuals and voice-over, renders the video, and preps it for publishing. Spotting a trend at breakfast and publishing a video about it by lunch isn't a fantasy — it's the intended workflow.

Better together

Trend Spotter + Topic Generator: one pipeline

Trend Spotter is reactive and timely; the Topic Generator is proactive and evergreen. Both feed the same Idea Board, and both end at the same Create Video button — timely topics for reach, evergreen topics for the long tail.

Real-world scenarios

How people actually use it

The Early Bird

Dev runs a personal-finance channel. Trend Spotter surfaces a Reddit thread about a new tax rule hours before mainstream coverage. He clicks Create Video, reviews the AI storyboard, and publishes the same evening — one of the first, and the search traffic proves it.

The Multi-Client Agency

Each account manager keeps a niche profile tuned to their client, opens Trend Spotter each morning, and turns the day's strongest trend into a client video — a repeatable, defensible service offering.

The Idea Stockpiler

Sara doesn't produce daily, but she checks trends daily. Anything promising goes to her Idea Board with one click. On production day she has a curated shortlist of pre-vetted topics instead of a blank page.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What sources does it monitor?

YouTube trending, Google Trends, Reddit hot posts, and any RSS feeds you add — the strongest mix of "what's viral", "what's being searched", "what's bubbling up", and "what your industry is publishing".

Why do I connect my own source keys?

Because your trend data should be yours. Connecting your own (free) keys means your quota, your privacy, your control — and no shared pipeline slowing you down. Setup is a guided, one-time step per source, and you can start with just one source and add others later.

Do I need all sources connected to start?

No. Each source lights up independently — connect just YouTube and you'll get YouTube trends immediately. RSS needs no key at all.

How is the momentum score calculated?

Each source is scored by what matters there — view velocity on YouTube, upvote rate on Reddit, search interest on Google Trends, recency for RSS — then normalized to a common 0–100 scale so everything ranks fairly on one list.

How fresh is the data?

Trends refresh automatically every day, and you can refresh on demand whenever you like (daily allowance depends on your plan).
