Grafy

Watch — standing queries on the open web

Set a watch on a page, a topic or a feed. Grafy checks on a schedule, keeps a timeline, and tells you what changed between any two checks.

Watch on Grafy

What it makes

Watch is a standing query on the open web. Point it at a page, a topic or a feed and it checks on a schedule you set, keeps a timeline of what it saw, and tells you what changed between any two checks. It keeps running when you are not looking, which is the whole idea.

For the thing you would otherwise re-check by hand every Monday — a competitor's pricing page, a regulation, a release note, a search you cannot stop running.

How a session works

  1. Create a watch on a URL, a topic or a feed and choose how often it should check.
  2. Let it run. Each check joins that watch's timeline, and one timeline across all your watches shows the whole picture.
  3. Compare any two checks to read the difference, or run one now when you cannot wait for the schedule.

What it costs

Each scheduled check spends credits, so the interval you choose is the cost you choose. Reading the timeline and comparing two checks you already have cost nothing.

Generation spends credits: paid plans include a monthly allowance, the Free plan starts with a one-time welcome grant, and you can top up at any time.

Included from the Pro plan.

Questions

What can I watch?
A specific page, a topic across the web, or a feed. The first tells you when something changed, the second tells you when something appeared.
How do I see what changed?
Pick any two checks from the timeline and it reads out the difference between them, so you see the change rather than two copies of a page.
Does it keep running without me?
Yes. That is what a watch is: it runs on its schedule whether or not the tab is open, and the timeline is waiting when you come back.
Can I check right now?
Yes. Run one on demand at any time, and the result joins the same timeline as the scheduled checks.
