After a show sells out, seats can come back: blocks the cinema held back, bookings nobody paid for, last-minute cancellations. Seat Watch runs on your Windows PC, keeps an eye on the shows you pick and alerts you the moment seats are free again. You book them yourself.

| A show, a cinema and date, or a film before bookings even open. | Pick rows or categories on the real seat map, and how many seats you need together (1 to 10). | A Windows notification with a link straight to the seats, and on your phone too through the free ntfy app or Telegram. |
| Alerts arrive silently when you choose; checking carries on. | BookMyShow and District, in Hyderabad and Bengaluru. | Your watches and settings live on your PC. No ads, no tracking. |
Alerts only. Seat Watch never books, holds or pays for anything, and never asks for your BookMyShow or District login. When seats come back, you book them on the booking site as usual.

Run it. If Windows says "Windows protected your PC", choose More info, then Run anyway. | Pick BookMyShow or District and your area, then add a watch. It lives in your tray. |
Seat Watch updates itself: when a new version is ready, the app tells you and installs it in one click.
Is it free?
Yes. No ads, no subscription. Without an account you get 1 watch; signing in with Google gives you 5, and they move with you to a new PC (one PC at a time).
Does it book tickets for me?
No. It tells you when the seats you want are free; you book them yourself on BookMyShow or District.
Will I always get tickets?
No one can promise that: seats come back at random and go fast. Seat Watch makes sure you hear about them in time.
Does my PC need to be on?
Yes, Seat Watch checks while your PC is on and the app is running (it keeps the PC awake meanwhile).
Why does Windows warn me?
The app isn't code-signed yet, so Microsoft SmartScreen doesn't know it. Choose More info, then Run anyway. Only download Seat Watch from this page or its website.
Where are the older versions?
Only the newest version is offered and supported, so everyone gets the latest fixes. If you have an older installer, please use the download above instead.
How are updates kept safe?
The update information in status.json is signed. The app only installs a version that is newer than
the one you have, comes from this page's releases, and matches the signed size and SHA-256.
Seat Watch is an independent tool. It isn't made by, endorsed by or connected with BookMyShow, District or Zomato.
status.json is read by the app to tell you when a new version is ready.
