Monitoring Web Page Changes Without Refreshing

AyeWatch is an AI monitor for public pages and topics. It reads the page, applies a plain-English rule, and routes a summary to push, email, Slack, Discord, or a webhook.

The refresh tax

Open the pricing page. See nothing. Close it. Repeat tomorrow. That ritual costs a minute a day and a small amount of attention you never get back. The day it changes, you are traveling, and someone else tells you in Slack.

The tax is not the minute. It is the assumption that you will keep doing it. A scheduled check does not care that you closed the laptop.

What you actually need

You need three things: a URL that holds a fact, a rule that says which fact, and a channel you read. You do not need a selector, a screenshot region, or a server. If a tool asks for those before it asks what you care about, it is solving a different job.

AyeWatch asks for the URL and the rule. The summary is the alert. That is the whole contract.

A two-minute setup

Paste the HTTPS URL. Write one sentence. Pick Daily or hourly. Choose push, email, or Slack. The 7-day trial is enough to prove the page you already babysit. Pro is $9/mo for 50 topics and hourly checks.

Do not start with a homepage that rotates campaigns. Start with /pricing, /careers, /legal/terms, or a listing path. The fact lives on a path, not on the front door.

The first week

A quiet week is a pass if the page was quiet. A noisy week is a fail even if one alert was useful. Count the alerts you would have forwarded. If the number is zero and the page really did not move, keep the watch.

If the number is five and four were banners, the rule is too wide. Tighten it. Do not add more URLs to a noisy watch. That is how a useful habit becomes a muted channel.

When to add a second URL

Add the next page when the first alert makes you act without opening the tab. A second URL is a second rule, not a second copy of the same vague watch. Keep them separate: pricing, jobs, and legal text move for different reasons.

If the same change also appears in news or Reddit, add a topic later. The page watch is the fact. The topic watch is the context. You can run both without merging them.

Set up a page watch in four steps

1. Copy the public HTTPS URL that holds the fact, not the homepage.
2. Write one sentence naming the fields that count and the ones to ignore.
3. Pick the slowest interval that still beats the cost of being late.
4. Send the first week of alerts to one channel you already read.

The bottom line

Pick the tab you opened today without a reason. Give it a rule and a channel. If the first alert is useful, you have replaced a ritual with a system. If it is noise, the rule is the problem, not the idea.
