Get Watcher uses 4chan API to predict the time until the next get. A get is a seemingly interesting post number, the post numbers on 4chan increase independently on each board and usually signify how many posts were made on that board since its inception, posts pointing out the repeating digits at the end of a post number are the most common (a post No.19377777 has five repeating sevens at the end and is called "quints"). In Get Watcher you can choose between three options: One board, Multiple boards, and Loop. This userscript is released under public domain.

Standalone HTA version

You can get a standalone version of this userscript that you can run without visiting 4chan or opening your browser. Right click on "Install this script" button above and save the target with the filename "Get Watcher.hta", this works only on systems running Windows.

Help

One board: Get stats from only one board, like time until next get, posts per second, etc.

Multiple boards: It lists every board's stats in a table that you can sort. The table's contents are: the board, next get, time until that next get, how many posts are left until it, and board speed. To sort the list, click on one of the headers. Click on one of the rows to display that board in One board tab.

Loop: Constantly checks the first page for latest post and posts per second value until stopped.

Board: The board you want to get stats from.

Digits dropdown: Recurring digits at the end of a post number. Select "Custom post" to enter a desired post number instead, which can be a post that was already made, you can also enter a number preceded by a plus or minus to offset it from the current post number ("+100" or "-4").
Example: 123444 has three recurring numbers at the end (trips), 333333 has six (sexts).

Clear: Last digits to be always zero, locked on for boards that don't have dubs (/v/, /vg/, /vr/).
Example: 130000 (clear quads).

Palindrome: Post IDs that read the same forwards and backwards.
Example: 123321, 4132314.

Delay: How much delay in seconds there should be between calls to 4chan API, the documentation suggests at least 10 seconds and never faster than once a second. With each call Get Watcher downloads about 25-30KB of JSON data.

Fast check: Instead of making two calls for both the first post and for an old post from page 10, it makes only one. Has different results, recommended on for multiple boards.
