Alert when a policy or announcement page changes

Policies and announcements change without warning. A school posts new dates. A company updates its return policy. An agency adds a notice. If you wait and check by hand, you can miss it for days, or you can waste time refreshing a page that never changes.

WatchForMe does the checking for you. You describe what to look for in plain English, like a word, a date, or a phrase on a public web page. We turn that into a watch. When the phrase appears or disappears, you get an email right away. It is not a browser extension, and you don't need an app.

How to set it up

  1. Paste the link to the public page and say which phrase to watch for, such as "2027" or "effective date".
  2. Say whether you want to know when the phrase appears or when it disappears, then pick a plan.
  3. Wait for the email. Each watch also has a private link where you can see it or stop it.

Things you can type

“Tell me when "2027" appears on [paste the announcement page link]”
“Email me when the phrase "applications are now open" appears on [paste page link]”
“Let me know when "temporarily closed" disappears from [paste notice page link]”
“Watch [paste policy page link] and tell me when the words "updated policy" show up”

Tips and limits

Questions

What kinds of pages can I watch?

Any public web page. That includes announcement pages, policy pages, and notice boards. You can watch for a phrase to appear or to disappear.

Can I watch a page that needs me to log in?

No. Pages behind a login are not supported. Appointment and visa slots are not supported either.

How fast will I find out?

You get an email the moment the change is found. How often the page is checked depends on your plan: every 60 minutes for $3, every 30 minutes for $5, or every 15 minutes for $12.

How much does it cost?

Payments are one time, with no subscription and no account. $3 gets 1 watch for 30 days. $5 gets 3 watches. $12 gets 10 watches. Prices include tax.

What if it doesn't work for my page?

You can get a refund within 7 days if it doesn't work for your page. You can also stop any watch from its private link.
