WebSite-Watcher gives you detailed control over what is checked, how changes are detected, and what happens after an update.
Monitor many types of content
Web Pages
Monitor all kinds of web pages and have all changes highlighted directly in the page text.
PDF / Word / Excel
PDF, Word and Excel documents are automatically converted to HTML so you can use all available features to monitor them - including keyword alerts on PDF documents.
RSS Feeds
RSS and Atom feeds can be monitored like normal web pages with all supported features.
Screenshot Method
Any page you can open in your browser can be monitored visually. WebSite-Watcher takes screenshots and compares them to detect changes.
Facebook, X, Instagram
Social media pages are automatically converted to RSS feeds. You are notified as soon as new posts are published.
Automate User Interactions
Record logins, search forms and multi-step workflows with integrated Check-Macros. WebSite-Watcher can replay these interactions automatically before checking the result page.
Smart check features
Flexible Check Intervals
You define when and how often each bookmark is checked - every 5 minutes, once a day, or every Monday at 9:00.
Keyword Alerts
Only get notified when specific words appear in new or changed content. Stop irrelevant notifications before they happen.
Filter Content
A powerful filter system lets you ignore content you are not interested in. The Filter Assistant creates filters with just a few clicks. Supports wildcards and regular expressions.
Monitor Whole Sites
The Follow-Links feature monitors complete websites instead of single pages. Linked pages are automatically added as new bookmarks.
Trigger Automated Actions
Trigger exports, e-mail alerts, AI workflows or custom tools whenever WebSite-Watcher detects an update. Use changed content as input for your own follow-up processes.
Add Logic with Plugins
Extend bookmark check logic with the built-in Plugin system. For example, only alert when a price falls within a certain range. Plugins can be written with the integrated Basic language.
Productivity and export features
Smartphone App
Read changed bookmarks on your smartphone when you're away from your PC. The WebSite-Watcher App is available for Android and iOS.
Send E-mails
Send changed bookmarks by e-mail to one or more recipients. Read updates directly in your e-mail client or webmail.
Create Reports
Generate reports of changed bookmarks in HTML, CSV, JSON or XML format. A flexible report system makes it easy to export and prepare data for post-processing.
Archive Pages
Archive updated pages permanently with the add-on Local Website Archive and keep a full history of previous changes.
Optional Bookmark Sync
Synchronize bookmarks between computers with the optional Cloud Sync feature, or use a shared folder in your internal network.
Advanced Tools
Use scraper tools, import and export options, forum monitoring, local file monitoring, scripting, statistics and other advanced functions.
What users say
WebSite-Watcher is one of the best software products. Without this great program we would have extra work. Only a few mouse clicks and our work is done. With it you can save a lot of time and money.
Bad news for competitors... WebSite-Watcher is a unique tool: extremely simple to use, but with very complex and fine settings. Very fast and reliable. This tool helps me watch hundreds of pages in seconds!
