StreamPulse
How do you get Kick live notifications?
StreamPulse polls the status of the Kick channels you add and fires a desktop notification as soon as they go live, without requiring an open Kick tab.
Channels are added manually by entering the channel name, since Kick offers no automatic subscription import comparable to Twitch.
Can you track Kick and Twitch together?
Yes. Both platforms appear in the same dashboard, which removes the need to monitor two sites in parallel. That is the main benefit for multi-platform viewers.
Which features are limited on Kick?
Kick has no channel points system, no Drops, and no predictions equivalent to Twitch. StreamPulse automation tied to those mechanics therefore applies to Twitch only.
| Feature | Twitch | Kick |
|---|---|---|
| Live notifications | Yes | Yes |
| Dashboard | Yes | Yes |
| Auto channel points | Yes | Not applicable |
| Drops and Moments | Yes | Not applicable |
| Predictions overlay | Yes | Not applicable |

What data is used?
The names of followed channels are sent to the public Twitch, Kick and YouTube APIs to check their status, and your preferences stay stored locally. The only other data sent is a hash of your Twitch username for the community badge, which you can turn off.
