About:
Website Watchman is a macOS utility for monitoring web pages and entire websites for changes. It can detect content updates, source code modifications, and visual differences, delivering notifications when changes occur. This tool is valuable for tracking updates on sites that lack RSS feeds or other notification systems.
Key Features:
  • Monitors entire websites, specific sections, or single pages for changes
  • Detects visual, content, and source code differences
  • Provides desktop notifications and alerts upon detecting changes
  • Can check sites on a scheduled basis
Use Cases:
  • Tracking price changes or stock availability on e-commerce sites
  • Monitoring news sites or forums for specific keyword mentions
  • Watching for updates on documentation or project pages without RSS feeds
Alternatives:
  • Distill – Browser-based extension with cloud sync, vs Watchman's native macOS app approach
  • changedetection.com – Web-based service vs Watchman's local-first desktop application
