Dashboard Settings
Configure your Site Spy dashboard preferences
The dashboard settings are organized into five tabs: Account, API & Monitoring, Appearance, Integrations, and Data.
Account
Profile
Shows your name, email, and current plan. Click Manage plan to view upgrade options.
Password
Change your password (only available for email/password accounts, not social logins).
Delete account
Permanently delete your account, all watches, and all data. This cannot be undone. A confirmation dialog requires explicit confirmation before proceeding.
API & Monitoring
API connection
Your API key connects the dashboard to the backend. Copy it to use in the browser extension or other integrations. See Connecting to the Dashboard for setup details.
Check frequency
Set the default check interval for all watches. Individual watches can override this in their own settings.
The allowed range depends on your plan:
| Plan | Minimum | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 1 hour | 7 days |
| Starter | 10 minutes | 7 days |
| Pro | 1 minute | 7 days |
| Business | 1 minute | 7 days |
AI features
Bring your own API key (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, or Google Gemini) for AI-powered change summaries. See AI Features for details.
Smart Filters
Toggle automatic noise reduction for new watches. When enabled, Site Spy uses AI to analyze new watches and apply filters that remove timestamps, cookie banners, and other dynamic content. See Smart Filters for details.
Appearance
Theme
Choose between three modes:
- Auto — Follows your system dark/light preference
- Dark — Always dark
- Light — Always light
The theme applies to the web dashboard. The browser extension has its own theme setting.
Watch list actions
Customize which action buttons appear on each watch in your list. Core actions (Recheck, Preview, Diff, Timeline, Settings, Delete) are always visible. Optional actions can be toggled on or off:
- Screenshots — Quick access to screenshot capture
- RSS feed — Link to the watch's RSS feed
- Share link — Generate a shareable link for the watch configuration
- Open site — Open the watched URL in a new tab
Changes are saved automatically and apply immediately.
