# Radar

> Watch your niche. Steal mechanics, not posts.

Radar is competitive intelligence without the 2am stalking session. Pick up to 5 Instagram accounts in your niche (the ones you'd study anyway), and the app watches them for you: daily sync, same engine that tracks your own account.

When one of *their* posts pops off, it shows up in your feed here. Not their average posts. Just the breakouts.

## Adding accounts

Type a handle or paste a profile URL into the **Watch** box. The first sync runs immediately (give it \~30 seconds, Apify is physically going there), and after that the daily sync keeps everything fresh.

Five accounts max. This is a watchlist, not a follow list. Pick accounts that are a step or two ahead of you in your exact lane, because their outliers are previews of what your audience wants next.

Remove anyone anytime with the ✕ on their chip. They will never know. Public data only, same rules as your own metrics.

## The outlier feed

Each row is a post from one of your watched accounts that ran at **1.5x or more of that account's own median engagement** in the last 60 days, sorted by how hard it overperformed. Important detail: the bar is *their* median, not raw likes. A 50k-follower account going 3x is a stronger signal than a 2M account having a normal Tuesday.

For every breakout post you get three moves:

* **Save as idea**: drops a card into your [Content Tracker](/content-tracker)'s Ideation column with the inspiration noted in the seed (who, when, how hard it hit, and the link). From there the [ghostwriter](/content-tracker#write-for-me-the-ghostwriter) can draft it in your voice.
* **Import transcript** (reels only): pulls the spoken transcript into your [Library](/documents) so you can study the actual hook structure and pacing, not just vibe at the thumbnail.
* **Open**: watch it on Instagram like a normal person.

## The rules of stealing

Save the *mechanic*, not the content. "POV format with a contrarian caption hook went 4x in my niche" is intelligence. Re-shooting their video shot for shot is plagiarism with extra steps. Radar gives you the pattern; your seeds, your voice, and your ghostwriter give it your angle.

## Caveats

* Private accounts can't be watched. Apify can't see through walls.
* An account needs at least 5 recent posts with engagement before outlier math kicks in, so a fresh add with a sparse feed may show nothing at first.
* Watched accounts sync once a day. A post that explodes at lunch shows up tomorrow, not in real time. It'll still be relevant, breathe.
