Open Trend Radar · for the community
Big sellers have trend analysts. Now every small seller does too — free.
A free, open-source trend analyst for every indie print-on-demand seller. Every day Claude agents read public trend signals across five regions and tell you which niches are rising, how crowded they are, which ones carry trademark risk — and which ones fit your shop.
Our goal: 25,000 indie sellers on the free radar by the end of 2027.
- Free forever for individuals
- Open source at launch
- Powered by Claude agents
In development — no account, no card. We'll email you when the first digest goes out.
The problem for small sellers
Research eats the day
Checking search tools, social feeds and bestseller lists by hand takes hours a seller with one shop doesn't have.
You find trends too late
By the time a niche is obvious, it's crowded. Big sellers with analysts and paid tools get there first.
One bad niche can cost the shop
Many trending phrases are trademarked. Selling on them leads to takedowns and suspended shops.
How it works
Three agent steps, every morning, for everyone at once.
-
01 · Haiku 5.5
Scan
Reads public signals — search interest, social and hashtag momentum, the seasonal calendar and marketplace bestseller movement — and drops the noise.
-
02 · Sonnet 5.5 + Haiku 5.5
Cluster & score
Groups signals into niches and scores each one for demand vs. saturation. Every niche gets a trademark-risk flag.
-
03 · Sonnet 5.5
Publish
Writes a daily digest for your region, updates a web board you can filter by niche and season, and sends you weekly alerts on the niches you follow.
| Niche | Demand | Saturation | Trademark risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slow run club humor | Rising | Low | Low |
| Cottagecore mushrooms | Steady | Medium | Low |
| Viral show catchphrase | Spiking | High | High — likely trademarked |

FAQ
Why is it free?
Because small sellers deserve the same trend view big sellers pay analysts for. The free tier is a real cost for us — every scan and personal alert is a Claude API call — and we fund it from the Design Agent, the paid product that does per-shop work.
When can I use it?
We're building it now (Q4 2026). Early-access members get the first digests; the public board, five regional radars, personal alerts and the open-source code are planned for the H1 2027 launch.
Is the trademark flag legal advice?
No. It's a warning signal from public trademark searches and the agent's judgment. Always check before you sell, and when in doubt, skip the niche.
Which marketplaces does it cover?
The radar is marketplace-neutral: niches are useful whether you sell on Etsy, Shopify, Amazon or elsewhere. Tell us where you sell in the form so we know what to cover first.
