You've been refreshing the same product page for two weeks. Here's how to stop — without handing a price-tracking company your shopping list.

Open the product page. Click Watchbird, then "Watch something on this page." Click the price. Choose "Alert on price change" — and, if you want, type a condition like "only if it drops below $130." Watchbird now checks that page for you, every 30 minutes on the free tier.
Most monitors send you a notification that means "go look at the page yourself." Watchbird's tells you the answer: the old price, the new price, and the direction. When on-device AI is available, it adds a sentence — "dropped $10 (7.2%)" — so you can decide from the notification alone.
A cloud price tracker has to know which products you're watching — that's how it works. Watchbird's checks are made by your own browser, and the results are stored on your own disk. There's no account, no server, and nothing for anyone to sell.

Heavily scripted or bot-protected retail pages can resist background checks. When that happens, Watchbird shows a clear "element not found" state rather than pretending nothing changed — but a dedicated price-history service with server-side scrapers will track some big retailers more reliably. If you're chasing a flash sale measured in seconds, that's the tool to use.
It works on any page where the price is visible in the page's content. Some heavily protected retail pages may fail background checks — Watchbird tells you when that happens instead of staying silent.
