About Text Watcher
Text Watcher monitors any website and notifies you the moment something changes — no account required, no data leaves your browser.
── WHAT YOU CAN TRACK ──
📝 Text — Watch for a specific word or phrase appearing or disappearing on any page. Supports plain text and regular expressions. Reports how many matches were found and shows a snippet of surrounding context.
🎯 CSS Selector — Watch for a specific page element by CSS selector (e.g. .in-stock, #buy-now, [data-available]). Perfect for stock availability flags, buttons that appear or disappear, and any UI state changes.
🔢 Element Count — Count all elements matching a selector and get notified when the number changes. Ideal for job boards, product listings, search results, and forum threads.
💰 Price — Track prices on any product page using 6 detection strategies tried automatically:
· JSON-LD structured data (Shopify, WooCommerce, and most major stores)
· Schema.org itemprop="price"
· OpenGraph meta tags
· Common data attributes (data-price, data-sale-price, data-product-price, and more)
· Custom CSS selector
· Page text scan fallback
Alert when price drops below a threshold, rises above one, or changes at all.
── FAST — NO TAB FLICKER ──
For most sites, Text Watcher checks pages silently in the background with no visible tab opened. Only when a page requires JavaScript rendering does it briefly open a background tab — never your active window. Shopify, WooCommerce, and sites with JSON-LD pricing are typically checked invisibly.
── DEBUG INSPECTOR ──
Not sure what to watch on a page? The built-in Debug Inspector loads any URL and shows you:
· All 6 price detection strategies and what each one found
· Every price data attribute present on the page
· JSON-LD structured data viewer

· Live text/regex tester — see match count and snippets
· One-click "Watch this" buttons that pre-fill the add form
