Distill Web Monitor

While this may present as a simple solution, it works best when you spend time tweaking and testing your site monitoring. I’ve been able to set things up right in order to avoid missing things as well as false alarms. If you use this for business or for finding valuable items in a competitive market then it’s well worth the price. My only wishes right now is for there to be an Apple Watch app that I could use to at least see previews of monitor alerts without having to necessarily open my phone to check. Or for the visual preview seen in the email notifications to also be shown in the text notifications and through the webhook interfaces. The visual part is important to me so that would be huge.

I don’t usually write app reviews but try to give props to indie devs when I can. This is by far the best way to track websites for changes - not only for products. The upgraded version is totally worth every penny. I have monitoring running on my Mac in Chrome with NordVPN running as an extension. This way my entire machine isn’t on a VPN, only Chrome during monitoring so I don’t get locked out of retailers like Newegg or Asus that love to IP ban. If any button goes from “out of stock” or “auto-notify” to “add to cart” I get a push notification via the app, an email and a text. It’s just another tool to try and beat the bots! Love this developer and love this app! Wish I had known about it years ago…. Will continue to support them via the paid version! Dev- THANK YOU! Don’t ever stop!

I use Distill to track rare product inventory. I’ve been able to purchase a lot of rare products thanks to this app using either the whole page or select part of page monitor. It alerts me by this app as well as discord webhooks. I’ve also used the email and text alerts which worked great but they were redundant as the other alerts were plenty. Tip: set your distill notification banner style to persistent so you never miss an alert. I contacted support to help me monitor a difficult page since I’m not a web developer and they quickly provided me with the JavaScript needed to monitor the product. I highly recommend this app.
