Website monitoring, in your own words
Tell SeenShift what to watch for on a page. It emails you the day it happens.
One link, one sentence. No rules to build, nothing to install. Everything else on that page changes without bothering you.
You don't need eleven tabs. You need one answer.
Somewhere in your history is a page you keep going back to for one reason. Nobody is going to tell you when that reason changes, so SeenShift will.
This is the whole setup.
A link, one sentence in your own words, one click. SeenShift reads the page, tells you what it found, then goes back so you don't have to.
It reads the page like you would.
The rest can rewrite itself daily. SeenShift finds the one line that answers your question, and watches only that.

Reasonable things to ask
It does prices, but that's where it's needed least. A shop's own alert usually gets there first. It earns its place on pages that never send you anything, like a job board or a reworded policy.
It can, as a yes or no question asked again on every check. "Is there good news on this front page" is a real monitor, and any quote it gives as a reason is checked to be literally on the page.
Where there's a newsletter, use the newsletter. This is for the pages that never made one, and for the questions no mailing list was going to answer anyway.
No. A link and a sentence, typed into the app. Nothing to install and nothing to maintain afterwards.
You don't set it, on purpose. Guessing the right interval is one of the chores this is meant to take off you, so SeenShift works it out from what you asked about.
Usually nothing, and that's the point. It looks for the thing you described, not for a spot on the page. If the thing genuinely isn't there any more, SeenShift stops and tells you.
It shouldn't. SeenShift visits at a polite rate, and checks whether the site allows automated visitors before fetching anything. If a site says no, that's the end of it.
Reading a page means sending its text to a model that can read it. That is the only place it goes, and the pages you watch are not passed around beyond it.
By email, and only by email for now. Slack, webhooks and phone notifications are all wanted and none are built yet. There's an off switch per page, and one for everything.
No. Holding your password for somebody else's site is a heavier promise than we're willing to make, so it watches public pages only.
Early. It works end to end, but access opens in small groups so that anything that breaks does so in front of people we can talk to.
Tell us the page you keep reloading
Access opens in small groups. Leave an address, and tell us what you want to watch when we reply. At this size, that is what decides what gets built next.
