Text Watcher

Monitor websites for text changes, price drops, selector presence and element count shifts. Get notified instantly.

Stop refreshing pages. Text Watcher keeps an eye on the web for you and tells you the moment something changes. WATCH ANYTHING ON A PAGE • Price: get an alert when a price changes, drops below your target, or goes above it • Stock: know as soon as "Sold out" disappears and an item is back • Text: find out when any word or phrase appears or disappears, like "Registration open" or "Pre-orders available" • Element: for advanced users, watch a CSS selector, or the number of items in a list SET UP IN TWO CLICKS Open a page, click Watch this page, and choose what you care about. Text Watcher shows you what it finds before you save, such as "Found on the page: $98.00", so you know it works. No code or setup needed. SEE WHAT CHANGED AT A GLANCE • Changes are written in plain language: "$112 → $98", "Back in stock", "Text appeared" • A price history chart and recent checks for every watch • Filter by Changed, Failing, or Paused, and search across all your watches • Desktop notifications, plus a badge on the toolbar icon for anything new RELIABLE CHECKS • Text Watcher waits for pages to finish loading, and checks a change a second time before alerting you, so you get fewer false alarms • Reads prices in many formats and currencies, including $1,299.99, 1.299,00 € and £12.50 • Many product prices are read without opening a tab. Other pages load in a muted background tab that closes on its own. • If a watch stops working, Text Watcher tells you why in plain language and helps you fix it BUILT-IN INSPECTOR Not sure what to watch? Load any page in the Inspector to see every price it can detect, then test CSS selectors and text live and turn any result into a watch with one click. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no tracking • Your watches stay in your browser and are never sent to us • Pages are checked from your own browser, so pages you're signed in to work too MORE • Check every 1, 6, 12, or 24 hours • Edit, pause, or delete watches, with undo • Export and import your watches as a backup • Light and dark mode that follows your system WHY TEXT WATCHER NEEDS THESE PERMISSIONS • Read and change data on websites: to open and read the pages you choose to watch. Text Watcher only reads pages you add. • Notifications: to alert you when something changes • Storage and alarms: to save your watches and run checks on schedule • Scripting and offscreen: to read page content, sometimes without opening a tab Made by Nahnu Media.
