If you've looked for an IMVU tracker, it's usually for one reason: you want to know where someone is and who they're with, and IMVU doesn't tell you. This page explains what a room tracker can actually do, what it costs, and where the limits are.
Catvu is an IMVU room tracker with a free plan. Search a username, it finds their active room, and you watch who's inside live — in your browser, on phone or PC. Paid plans start at $6.99/mo and add outfits, furniture, chats and full history.
What an IMVU tracker actually does
IMVU lets people hide their location, so their profile won't tell you where they are. A room tracker gets there a different way: instead of reading their profile, it works out which room is actually active and shows you the people inside it.
The important part is that it watches from outside. You aren't walking into the room, so you don't show up on the guest list and nobody gets a notification. You see the room; the room doesn't see you.
You watch the room.
It never knows.
How to track a room, step by step
- Open the tracker.Go to catvu.live. No download, no account, works on your phone.
- Search the username.Type the IMVU username and hit search.
- Watch it live.Catvu finds their active room and lists who's inside, updating as people join and leave.
What you get without paying
You don't need a card to start. The free plan is free forever, not a trial:
- Username search free
- Jump straight to anyone's rooms and details.
- Room list & cards free
- See the rooms tied to a user at a glance.
- With-user search free
- Look up who someone has been in a room with.
- Basic snapshots free
- Point-in-time captures of room activity.
- Live Watch limited
- Watch a room update live — capped on the free plan.
For an occasional look-up, that's genuinely the whole job and you never have to pay.
Where free runs out
Free shows you that something happened. Paid shows you the detail — what people wore, what was in the room, what was said, and how far back it goes. If you're checking often, that's the part you end up wanting.
Want a bot to watch for you?
The free tracker answers "where are they right now" — but only when you go and look. If you find yourself checking over and over, that's what the Radar Bot is for: it watches for you and messages you on Discord when something happens.
- Discord alerts
- Get a DM the moment a watched user enters a public room.
- Watchlist

- Weekly digest

Stop refreshing.

The things people ask before trying it
Can they tell I'm watching?
No. Catvu watches the room from outside instead of joining it, so you never appear in the room and nothing is sent to anyone.
Does it work if they hid their location?
Yes — that's the main case it's built for. It finds which room is active rather than trusting what the profile says.
Do I need to download anything?
No. It runs in your browser on phone and PC. Nothing is installed and your IMVU login is never involved.
Is it really free?
There's a free plan that stays free — search, room lists, with-user search, basic snapshots and a limited amount of Live Watch, with no card needed. Paid plans start at $6.99/mo and unlock the detail: outfits, furniture, chats, full snapshot history and exports.
What can't it do?
It reads room activity, not private messages. It won't show you someone's DMs, their password, or anything inside their account.

Common questions
What is an IMVU room tracker?
A browser tool that finds which room a user is in and shows who's inside, updating live. You don't join the room and you don't download anything.
How do I find what room someone is in on IMVU?
Search their username in the tracker. It finds the active room instead of relying on the location shown on their profile.
Can I see private rooms?
Yes — see the private room tracker guide for how that one works.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, it's a website — the same thing works on your phone and your PC.
Do I need my IMVU password?
No, and you should never give it to any tracker. Catvu never asks for your IMVU login.
What's the difference between the tracker and the Radar Bot?
The tracker is you looking something up. The Radar Bot is it watching for you and sending a Discord message when something happens.
