I built an app that shows what the world is actually searching — Google, YouTube, Reddit, and HN in one place

I kept running into the same problem: I'd want to know what people are actually paying attention to right now, and I'd end up bouncing between Google Trends, Reddit, Hacker News, and YouTube — each in separate tabs, each with its own format.

There was no single place to get a clean signal across all of them.

So I built one. The web version came first, and now the iOS and Android apps are live.


What it tracks

Google Trends Country-level search snapshots, refreshed roughly every hour. Rising keywords are clustered into related groups so you can see the shape of a trend, not just the individual query. Supports 1h / 1d / 7d time windows.

YouTube Trends What's actually getting views by country. Useful for spotting content trends before they show up everywhere else.

Reddit & Hacker News Community signals alongside search signals. Sometimes the discourse on Reddit or HN is an early indicator of something that hasn't hit mainstream search yet.

World Affairs & Agentic AI Two curated topic feeds: international news context, and what's moving in the AI agent/tooling space specifically.

AI Prompt Builder Each trend comes with a copy-ready prompt built from the live trend data. Useful if you write content or research topics for a living.

What makes it useful vs just using Google Trends directly

A few things:

  1. Multi-source in one view. Google Trends alone doesn't show you the Reddit conversation happening around a search spike, or whether a topic is getting HN traction. Kiolix Pulse surfaces all three alongside each other.

  2. Noise filtering. Sports scores, lottery results, and recurring seasonal searches are filtered out. What's left is things that are genuinely new.

  3. Time window comparison. A trend spiking in the 1h window but not in 1d is a different thing from one climbing steadily across all three. The app makes that distinction visible.

  4. Mobile-first. Google Trends is not great on mobile. This is built specifically for quick mobile check-ins.

Honest limitations

  • Not for breaking news. Google data refreshes roughly every hour — by design, this filters out sub-hour spikes (a celebrity tweet, a sports moment) and surfaces trends that are actually sustaining. If you need minute-level monitoring, this isn't the right tool for that.

  • Coverage varies by country — some smaller markets have thinner data.

It's completely free

No account. No subscription. No paywall. Push notifications are optional and you can turn them off any time.

The only reason I'd love a rating or review: it genuinely helps other people find the app.

Platforms

Happy to answer questions about how it works or what's coming next. Feedback on what's missing or broken is especially useful.
