1 · Open the Control Panel
Open the packaged app (Mac DMG / Windows zip) or the source launcher — the local panel opens in your browser.
2 · Connect Discord
Send alerts to a channel you choose in your own Discord server.
3 · Connect email
GuruWatcher reads new/unread mail in one folder — not your whole inbox.
4 · Keep checking
This is what looks up prices on a timer. Off = no Discord alerts.
5 · Practice with a sample
Try the whole loop with an invented issue — nothing posts to Discord.
6 · Watch crypto (majors & tokens)
Alert on Bitcoin/Ethereum from your newsletter, and on tokens via the CLI with a liquidity floor.
Optional · Run 24/7 on Hetzner
Keep alerts going when your computer sleeps — a small cheap cloud server (DIY).
Optional · Claude / Cursor (MCP)
Power-user extra. You do not need Claude or MCP — the Control Panel is the product.
Optional · Windows first run
Windows only? The Keep → Unblock → Run anyway prompts are normal. Here's exactly what to click.
