Pounce - Website Change Monitor

Pounce watches the parts of the web you actually care about, and tells you the moment they change — a price drop, a new job posting, a status update, a table value — without you having to keep checking manually. Click anything on any page — a price, a headline, a job listing, a table cell, an image — and Pounce turns it into a smart monitor. No configuration required to get started: click, save, done. HOW IT WORKS 1. Click the Pounce icon → "Create smart monitor" 2. Click the exact thing you want to watch on the page 3. Pick a type (or let Pounce guess) — Text, Price, Number, Keyword, Job listing, Table, or Image 4. Get a desktop notification the moment it changes, with a before/after diff WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Resilient selectors — if a site redesigns and the original element moves, Pounce recovers automatically instead of silently going blank. • Type-aware detection — a price monitor knows the difference between a 2% and a 20% change; a job monitor calls out exactly what's new instead of just saying "something changed." • Real diffs, not guesses — every change shows a clean before/after comparison in the Dashboard, with full history (up to 100 events per monitor). • Works entirely locally by default — your monitors, your data, stored in your browser. No account required. FEATURES • 7 monitor types: Text, Price, Number, Keyword, Job listings, Tables, Images (byte-level image change detection, not just URL changes) • Per-monitor check frequency, from 5 minutes to once a day • Desktop notifications, optional sound, optional webhook (Slack/Discord/any URL) • Optional AI-generated "why this matters" summaries (bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI key — never sent through our servers) • Full Dashboard: searchable history, word-level diffs, image diffs, JSON export • Trash with restore — deleting a monitor is never permanent by accident • Pause/resume, rename, tag monitors for organization • Optional Run in Cloud — for monitors that need to keep checking even when your browser is closed PRIVACY Local checks store everything only in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere unless you explicitly turn on Run in Cloud, an AI summary key, or a webhook. Full privacy policy: https://pounce-cloud-production.up.railway.app/privacy Free to use for local monitoring, no account needed. Cloud checks (for monitors that need to run while your browser is closed) require an account; new accounts currently include 5 free cloud monitors.
