Product launch alert

You find a product you want, but the page says "Coming soon." There is no date, or the date slips. You end up refreshing the page and hoping you don't miss the launch. Popular items can sell out fast, so timing matters.

WatchForMe does the checking for you. Paste the page link and say what you want, like "Tell me when 'Coming soon' disappears." We turn that into a watch on the public page. When the phrase is gone, you get an email right away. You can also watch for the price or for the item being back in stock once it goes live.

How to set it up

  1. Copy the link to the product page that says "Coming soon."
  2. Type your request in plain English, such as: Tell me when "Coming soon" disappears from this page.
  3. Pay once, and we email you the moment the phrase disappears.

Things you can type

“Tell me when "Coming soon" disappears from [paste the product page link]”
“Email me if the words "Pre-order" appear on [paste the product page link]”
“Watch [paste the product page link] and let me know when the price drops to $80 or less”
“Tell me when "Notify me" disappears from [paste the product page link]”

Tips and limits

Questions

What does the watch look for?

It looks for a phrase on a public web page. For a launch alert, that means the words "Coming soon" disappearing. You can also watch for a phrase appearing, like "Add to cart" or "Pre-order."

Do I need an account, an app, or a browser extension?

No. WatchForMe is not a browser extension and doesn't need an app. There's no account either. You get an email when the change happens, and each watch has a private link where you can see or stop it.

How much does it cost?

It's a one-time payment, not a subscription. $3 gets you 1 watch for 30 days, checked every 60 minutes. $5 gets you 3 watches for 30 days, checked every 30 minutes. $12 gets you 10 watches for 30 days, checked every 15 minutes. Prices include tax.

What pages can't you watch?

Anything behind a login won't work. We also don't support appointment or visa slots, ticket queues, flights, or hotels. Some stores aren't supported either, including Walmart, Target prices, Home Depot, Costco, Lowe's, Lego.com, Sephora, Newegg, B&H, Ticketmaster, and StubHub. Best Buy, eBay, and Etsy are coming soon.

What if it doesn't work for my page?

You can get a refund within 7 days if the watch doesn't work for your page.
