Description
Monitor websites and receive alerts when they change with WebBeacon by creating beacons that track web content and check in the background automatically to detect changes. Simply navigate to the website you wish to watch using WebBeacon’s browser and select the content you want to watch, whether it’s the whole website or only part of it, and receive a notification only when your selection changes, according to many different settings.
WebBeacon tracks your navigation through its browser, such as when you click or type something, so that it can navigate to the content on its own in the background, allowing you to watch content that can’t be seen through a direct URL, such as needing to login first or needing to click buttons before seeing the content. This ultimately frees you from needing to stay on a website and check yourself by continually refreshing.
WebBeacon Premium comes with many additional features that allow you to customize how WebBeacon looks and acts.
Features:
– Beacons watch websites or parts of websites in the background for changes and alert you when they change, even if the web content requires clicking and typing to reach
– Can work for logins
– Each beacon has its own menu that includes various options, as well as a copyof the website you are watching for quick viewing
– Beacons each have a logbook packed with features to allow for quick and easy comparison of changes to the web content
– An automatic browser that allows you to see exactly what each beacon is doing in the background and how it reaches your selected content
– Customizable frequency for each individual beacon, among other options
– Plenty of convenient and customizable options to change how WebBeacon works as well as how it looks
– Lots of visual feedback such as countdown timers and statuses so you know exactly what your beacons are doing at any given moment
– A beautiful interface that makes WebBeacon a pleasure to use
– A Chrome-like browser that makes navigating simple and convenient
Premium-exclusive features:
– Complete control over each beacon’s frequency. Set the frequency from 0 seconds up to 14 days, with any number of seconds between
– Each beacon has a whitelist that contains terms you want to find in the content such as “Available” or “In stock”
– Each beacon has a blacklist that contains terms you don’t want to find in the content such as “Not available” or “Not in stock”
– Regular expression (regex) support for the whitelist and blacklist
– A real-time regex tester so you can see what your regular expressions do without leaving the app
– Number watchers that allow your beacons to watch specific numbers in the content, or watch for numbers in general, with many options, such as if the number has increased or decreased
– Receive 2 additional themes. Use the Night theme for a darker look, or use the Twilight theme to automatically use a light theme during the day and a dark theme at night, at times you specify.
– Customization options for how highlighting looks in the browser
– Complete control over which statuses send you a notification. Receive notifications for when web errors occur or even turn off notifications for when changes occur so you receive notifications for exactly what you want.
– Individual notification settings for each beacon. Give each beacon its own identity so you know which beacon is notifying you without checking your device. This means individual lights, ringtones, vibrations, and even individual status notifications for each beacon.
