About Watchdog - Web Page Change Monitor
Stop refreshing pages manually. Watchdog monitors any web page for changes and alerts you the moment something updates - prices, stock availability, content drops, scores, or anything else you care about.
How it works:
Pick any element on any website with a single click. Watchdog watches it for you and sends a desktop notification the instant it changes. No setup, no configuration, no account needed.
Key Features:
• Point-and-click element picker - no CSS selectors needed, just click what you want to watch
• Content & Visual comparison - detect text/DOM changes or pixel-level screenshot differences
• Instant detection - changes caught in real-time via DOM observation
• Scheduled checks - poll at custom intervals (15s to 5min) for dynamic content
• Persistent watchers - auto-restore on page load, even after browser restart
• Background monitoring - check pages in hidden tabs without keeping them open
• Change history - timestamped log of every detected change
• Full dashboard - manage all your watchers and review changes in one place
• Desktop notifications - with smart cooldowns to avoid notification spam
• Multi-watcher support - track multiple elements across different pages simultaneously
Use cases:
→ Track price drops on product pages
→ Monitor job boards for new listings
→ Watch for restocks on sold-out items
→ Follow live scores or election results
→ Detect website outages or content updates
→ Keep tabs on competitor pages
