Muse watched iPhone stock and pinged his phone
Hunting for two hard-to-get iPhones in New York, the poster asked Meta Muse to make a small checker that watched store inventory and sent a push notification to his phone through the free ntfy app whenever stock showed up. It ran for about a week. He missed one chance because his card details weren't saved for a quick checkout. In the end he noticed stock tended to appear at 8:45 in the morning, so he was ready and refreshing at that time.
Copy this prompt
Check [STORE]'s website for [PRODUCT, MODEL, COLOR AND STORAGE] at stores near [ZIP CODE] every [15] minutes from [8 AM] to [10 PM]. The moment any store shows it in stock for pickup, send a push notification to my phone with the store, the price and a direct link. Keep a log of when stock appears so we can spot a pattern. Don't buy anything.
Our own prompt, written from what the source describes. We haven't run it ourselves. Text in [BRACKETS] is what you replace.
Watch out for
- Save your payment details in the store's app ahead of time. Popular restocks can sell out in minutes.
- Check at a gentle pace. Very frequent checks can get blocked by the store's site.
