Your competitors have designers in their X follower lists. These are people interested in your space - they followed a competing account because the topic matters to them. That is a signal you can act on, if you know who they are. But X gives you no way to see another account's followers intelligently - just a long list of profile photos and short bios with no filtering.
Designers shape how products feel. They influence tool adoption across entire teams, drive brand perception, and sit at the centre of product decisions. Identifying which designers are following a given account is valuable for design tool companies, brands seeking creative partnerships, and companies hiring design talent. A designer paying attention is often an advocate waiting to happen.
Catch The Good Ones lets you track any public X account - including your competitors. We classify every new follower using customisable AI-powered filters you define in plain English. When designers follow your competitor, they appear on your dashboard - classified and ready to act on. You see who is interested in your space and can get in front of them. This is not surveillance - every follow is public data. We just make sure you do not miss the ones that matter.

Catch The Good Ones: How it works
Six steps. From adding an account to a fully automated pipeline.
Add a tracked account
Add any public X account - your own, a competitor, a thought leader, a company. We start monitoring their followers immediately.
Define your search
Describe who you are looking for in plain English. "Investors with 10K+ followers" or "Female tech founders in fintech". Our AI maps it to filters.
Run a sync
Syncs run automatically on your schedule (up to 4x/day on Pro). Every new follower is classified by job role, personality, skills, and more.
Explore your matches
Your dashboard shows only the people who match your criteria. Full profile, job title, personality traits, and the date they followed.
Export and act
Download upload-ready CSVs for tools like Apollo, Hunter, and Snov.io. DM people directly on X. Or connect via our API and Zapier.
Automate it
Schedule regular syncs and let the workflow run for you. Set up automated actions via Zapier or our API. Choose your notification preferences so you never miss a match.

See how it works for youFrequently asked questions
How does Catch The Good Ones identify designers?
We classify every new follower using AI that analyses their bio, recent posts, and profile data against your customisable filter dimensions. Designers are identified by signals like design-related roles, portfolio links, tool mentions, and creative industry positioning - but you define exactly what matters to you.
Can I filter for specific types of designers?
Yes. Describe your target in plain English - for example, "UX designers at fintech companies" or "brand designers with 5K+ followers". Our AI maps your description to filter dimensions and surfaces the matches.
Does this catch freelance designers too?
Yes. Freelance designers are identified the same way as full-time designers - through bio signals, posting patterns, and professional context. Many freelance designers are active on X and clearly identify their work in their profiles.
Can I track any competitor's X account?
Yes. Catch The Good Ones works with any public X account. You do not need to own or have access to the account - just add the handle and we start classifying their followers against your custom filters.
Will my competitor know I am tracking their followers?
No. We only access publicly available data. There is no notification sent to the account you are tracking. It is the same information anyone could see by scrolling through their follower list - we just classify and surface the designers automatically.
