About Buoy Club
Buoy is a keyword monitoring tool for Farcaster, the decentralized social network. You set up keywords and phrases, and Buoy notifies you in real time when they appear in casts, so you can respond quickly to mentions of your project, a topic or a bounty.
It also works as a search interface for the network, with filters to narrow results and cut through noise, and lets users build their own notification rules. An iOS app delivers custom notifications, and users can buy a Pro subscription, including through Hypersub. The site displays testimonials from Farcaster users.
Buoy is a hosted commercial service with a pricing section on its website. It suits builders, community managers and active Farcaster users who want to track conversations without scrolling the feed.
