Stop refreshing pages. Teach WebTasker what to watch once, and it tells you only what's new.
WebTasker watches part of a web page on a schedule and sends you a short, plain-language digest of what changed. It reports only new or meaningfully changed items, not a noisy diff of the whole page.
Use it for anything that lives in a list:
• Job postings and notices
• Prices and product listings
• Papers, articles and announcements
• Any page that updates without telling you
HOW IT WORKS
1. Open a page and choose Create Task.
2. Click the list or region you want to watch and check the live preview of the items found.
3. Pick how often to check.
4. WebTasker saves a silent starting point, so you aren't flooded with existing items. After that, you hear about new items only.
FEATURES
• Point-and-click selection with a live preview, with no selectors or code
• Flexible schedules, with missed checks caught up when the browser starts
• Desktop notifications that summarize what's new
• Noise filtering, so counters, timestamps and other minor changes aren't reported as news
• Manual "run now" checks
• Optional AI summaries, off by default. Bring your own Anthropic, OpenAI or Google key. They run only on changed items, and if AI fails you still get the plain list.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Local-first: tasks and history stay in your browser
• No account, no sign-up, no backend, no passwords
• AI is optional. When it's on, only the changed items are sent to the provider you chose, using your own key.
GOOD TO KNOW
• Checks run while Chrome is open.
• Pages that block automated requests are retried in a real tab where possible.
Teach it once. Let it work for you.
