Your competitors have journalists 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.
Journalists follow sources on X before they write about them. A journalist following an account is the earliest possible signal that coverage could be coming - or that they consider the person behind that account a credible voice in their beat. For founders, PR teams, and anyone who benefits from press coverage, identifying which journalists are in a given audience is one of the most actionable signals available.
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 journalists 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.

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.

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.

How does Catch The Good Ones identify journalists?
We classify every new follower using AI-powered analysis of their bio, profile data, and posting patterns against the criteria you define in plain English. Journalists commonly have publication names, "reporter", "correspondent", or "editor" in their bios, but you define what matters to you.
Can I filter for journalists at specific publications?
Yes. Describe exactly what you are looking for - "journalists at The New York Times", "tech reporters at major publications", "freelance writers covering AI". Our AI maps your description to filter dimensions and surfaces only the matches.
How is this different from a media database like Muck Rack?
Media databases give you a cold list of journalists to pitch. We show you which journalists have already followed a tracked account - that is a fundamentally warmer starting point. The journalist chose to pay attention. We just make sure you know about it.
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 journalists automatically.
