Managing Watches

View, recheck, and manage your watches from the web dashboard

The web dashboard provides a central view of all your watched pages.

Watch list

The dashboard shows all your watches with:

  • Page URL and favicon
  • Last checked time
  • Change status indicator
  • Tags

Status indicators

StatusMeaning
ChangedNew changes detected since you last viewed
No changesPage content is the same as the previous snapshot
PendingWatch was just created and hasn't been checked yet
ViewingCurrently being checked by the server
ErrorThe last check failed (network error, timeout, etc.)

Adding watches

Click the Add Watch button in the dashboard to create a new watch. Enter a URL, optionally add a title and tags, and describe what you want to track (used by Smart Filters if enabled).

You can also add watches from the browser extension or AI Chat.

Rechecking

Click the recheck button on any watch to trigger an immediate server-side check. The check runs in the background — if it takes longer than 90 seconds, you'll see a notification that it may still be processing.

Viewing changes

From the dashboard, you can access three views for each watch:

  • Preview — See the latest snapshot rendered as a page
  • Timeline — Browse all snapshots and compare any two
  • Diff — Compare the latest two snapshots side by side

Pausing and resuming

Click the pause button on a watch to temporarily stop checking it. The watch stays in your list with all its settings and history intact. Click resume to start checking again.

Watch settings

Click the gear icon on any watch to open its settings — check interval, screenshot capture, filters, and more. See Watch Settings for details.

Deleting watches

Click the delete button on any watch to remove it. A confirmation dialog appears before deletion. If deletion fails, the error persists until you dismiss it or retry.

Use the tag filter bar at the top to show only watches with specific tags. The search field filters by URL and title.
