About Distill Web Monitor

Distill Web Monitor tracks web pages for changes. You select the parts of a page you care about. Distill then checks them in the background, either locally or on its cloud, and alerts you by browser notification, email, SMS or its mobile apps.

It keeps a version history of changes and lets you set how often each page is checked, with conditions for when to notify. It can also watch password-protected pages and PDFs. It is available as a browser extension, as beta desktop apps and as mobile apps.

Strengths

  • Watches only the part of the page you select
