OpenReview Monitor

中文说明

Privacy-first, self-hostable OpenReview monitor: email alerts for new reviews, reviewer score changes, and decisions.

OpenReview Monitor watches specific OpenReview papers and emails you when new reviews are posted, ratings/scores change, or decisions are announced.

Demo

• Frontend: openreview-monitor.vercel.app
• Backend API: openreview-monitor-api.littleor.cn

Screenshots

Features

• Track papers by URL or ID.
• Email notifications for new reviews, review edits (e.g., rating/score changes), and decisions.
• Admin panel (/admin) for managing papers/subscribers and triggering a manual check.
• Self-hostable backend: FastAPI + SQLite + SMTP (keep OpenReview credentials private; no public server required).
• Frontend can switch between the hosted backend and your own backend.

How It Works

• The backend checks OpenReview on a schedule (CHECK_INTERVAL).
• Latest state is persisted in SQLite; notifications are delivered via your SMTP provider.
• It can also notify when a reviewer updates their review (e.g., rating/score changes).
• The frontend is a thin client that can talk to the hosted backend or your self-hosted backend.

Quick Start (Hosted UI)

1. Open the frontend.
2. Paste an OpenReview paper URL or ID.
3. Enter your email address.
4. Optional: provide OpenReview credentials (some venues require login).
5. Submit and wait for email updates.

Tip: enable Notify me when reviews are modified to get alerts when a reviewer changes their rating/score.

Self-host Backend (No Public Server Required)

You can run the backend on your own machine or private network. A public server is not required.

1. cd backend
2. cp .env.example .env and set SMTP_*, FROM_EMAIL, ADMIN_PASSWORD (and SECRET_KEY for production).
3. uv sync
4. uv run uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
5. In the frontend, open Backend Settings, choose Custom, and set the base URL to http://localhost:8000 (the UI auto-appends /api).

Notes:

• If you plan to enter OpenReview credentials, self-hosting the backend is strongly recommended.
• If you use the hosted frontend, add https://openreview-monitor.vercel.app to CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS in backend/.env.
• Want to run the backend on another machine (LAN/public)? Use HTTPS and see the deployment doc.

Email Deliverability

Please add no_reply@littleor.cn to your email whitelist to avoid missing notifications.
