# Alert rules and the pop-out

Make the follows you'd act on ring and stand out, and keep Followings in its own window.

## Alert rules

A rule picks out the follows you'd act on. Matching rows get its colour and name, and new matches play its sound. A rule can combine:

* **who followed**: lists, a follower range, a key-follower range, specific @handles, or only key profiles on your watchlist;
* **what they followed**: the account's follower and key-follower ranges.

The preview line (*Matches N of M loaded rows*) tells you before you save whether a rule is too loose or would never fire. Rules are checked top to bottom and the first match wins, so put the narrowest rule first.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Rules and sounds are saved in this browser only, so set them up again on another computer. The pop-out uses the same rules.
{% endhint %}

**Feed sound** plays for every new follow, not just rule matches. It's off on the page and on in the pop-out.

## The pop-out

<figure><img src="https://2890339755-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FvIphMEwaQ5ezROEnmBhw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-8ea987a6e0ade18bb61be35551391407776a8b36%2Ffollowings-popout.gif?alt=media" alt="The Followings pop-out window: larger text, scrolling the live list and hovering a key-follower count"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Pop out** opens Followings in its own window; clicking it again brings back the same window rather than a second one. How it differs from the page:

* its filters are its own (alert rules are shared);
* when you scroll down, new follows wait behind a **new · jump to top** button instead of moving the list;
* it keeps the latest 240 follows, so narrow the filters to look further back;
* hovering a project's **KP** count lists its top key followers.

If nothing opens, allow pop-ups for alphagate.io.
