Classifindr Mobile: iOS and Android Apps Are Here

The Classifindr iOS and Android apps are live. They are free to download from the App Store and Google Play, and they sign in with the same account you already use on the web.

This post is short on purpose: the apps do exactly what the rest of the platform already does, just on the device that is already in your hand.

What is in v1

The mobile app is the full product, not a viewer. From day one, you can:

  • Receive alerts through native push after a check finds a match, subject to device and platform settings
  • Browse the alerts feed, hide or unhide alerts, and mark items not interesting to teach your rules
  • Tap an alert to open the listing in an in-app browser, then jump to the marketplace
  • Create searches with the AI search wizard, edit keyword rules, and route alerts to specific channels
  • Manage Discord, Telegram, Email, and other channels from the app, including a per-device mobile push channel that is created automatically on first launch
  • Sign in with passkeys, Sign in with Apple, Google, or email magic-link, no new password to remember
  • View your current plan and unit balance, with invoice history and quick links back to the web for plan changes

What is intentionally not in v1: subscription management. Plans, top-ups, and billing are managed on the web per App Store and Google Play guidelines. The app shows your plan and links out to the web portal for changes.

Why a native app rather than mobile web

The honest answer is native notification behavior. Browser push works, but on iOS in particular, it can vary depending on the browser, the user’s settings, and how recently the tab was open. For a tool that exists to surface time-sensitive listings, that variation can make alerts harder to trust.

The apps use Apple Push Notification service (APNs) on iOS and Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) on Android, the standard systems for native app notifications. After Classifindr finds a match, push notifications can reach your phone even when the app is in the background or closed, subject to device and platform settings.

Native also gets you a few smaller wins: signed-in sessions that persist properly, universal-link routing (an email link or alert URL opens the app rather than bouncing through a browser), and a real management surface so you can do more than read alerts on the go.

How to get started

If you are already a Classifindr user, install the app and sign in with your existing account. Your searches, channels, and unit balance are immediately available.

If you are new to Classifindr, install the app and sign up from there. Either order works. The seven-day free trial applies the same way it does on the web.

What is next

The apps will get the same continuous, low-key improvements the web product gets. Notable items already in motion: deeper background refresh tuning, smarter notification grouping for high-volume searches, and the usual platform-native polish. Nothing in this paragraph is a roadmap commitment, but the cadence will mirror the web.
