WebSite-Watcher

WebSite-Watcher is a website-monitoring tool for Windows that checks online pages and identifies changes. It is designed for both beginners and advanced users who need to follow updates across different types of web content. Users can control what is checked, when checks are performed, and how updates are brought to their attention.

The program monitors web pages and highlights changes found in their content. PDF, Word, and Excel documents are converted to HTML so that the same monitoring features can be used with them, including alerts based on specified keywords in PDF documents. RSS and Atom feeds can be monitored in the same way as ordinary web pages. Pages that can be opened in an internet browser can also be checked through screenshots, which are compared to detect updates.

WebSite-Watcher can convert Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages into RSS feeds, allowing new posts to be monitored as they are published. Its integrated Check-Macro feature can record logins to password-protected pages and run those macros when bookmarks are checked. The same macro approach can automate search queries, making it possible to monitor changes in search results.

As a Windows product, WebSite-Watcher fits the website-monitoring category by combining page checks, document tracking, feed monitoring, and screenshot comparison in one application.
