Does TabEye work in the background?

Yes. Keep Chrome open and TabEye checks watched tabs on the schedule you choose, even while you use another tab, window or app.

Can TabEye watch only one part of a page?

Yes. Drag a box around a region or select individual page elements, and TabEye ignores changes elsewhere.

Do I need an account?

No. TabEye stores its settings locally in your browser and needs no account.

Can TabEye alert my phone?

Yes. Connect Telegram or Discord to receive alerts on any device where you use those services.

Things worth waiting for.
Tabs that aren’t.

Use TabEye anywhere a page holds the answer. It works on public sites and pages you’re logged into because the monitoring happens in your own browser.

The one-minute setup

Open it. Point it. Leave it.

1
Open the page you care about.
Log in first if the page needs it. TabEye watches the tab exactly as you see it.
2
Choose how often to check.
Anything from every five seconds to once a day, with a different schedule for every tab.
3
Start the monitor.
Switch away. TabEye keeps the countdown and alerts you when something changes.

Follow the full getting-started guide

Starting a new webpage monitor from the TabEye extension. — One click starts a watch. A small countdown stays on the page so you always know it’s running.

Watch less.
Catch exactly what matters.

Real pages are noisy. Ads rotate, clocks tick, recommendations change. TabEye gives you three practical ways to cut through it.

The whole page

The fast default. Best for simple pages where any visible change is useful.

Good for queues and status pages

One exact area

Drag around a price, date or stock label. Everything outside the box is ignored.

Press P and drag

A word or phrase

Alert only when text appears or disappears, like “sold out,” “book now,” or “apply.”

Appears / disappears

Dragging a selection box around the price on a product page. — **Busy page?** Draw a box around the part you care about and ignore the rest. Learn about page selection →

Leave your desk

The alert can find you.

Play a sound, jump straight to the changed tab, or send the alert to Telegram or Discord. There’s no TabEye server in the middle. Messages go from your browser to the channel you connect.

Get alerts on your phone with Telegram
Post into a private Discord channel
Use a separate sound for errors or CAPTCHAs
Pause, resume, or request a screenshot from Telegram

Set up alerts in the docs

A TabEye restock alert received in Telegram. — “Add to cart” appeared. Telegram knew before you reopened the page.

Made for real browsing

It watches the page.
Not you.

TabEye lives in Chrome and stores its setup locally. There’s no account, cloud dashboard, or extra app to keep open.

While you type: The countdown pauses so a refresh doesn’t wipe your form.
If a tab sleeps: TabEye notices and wakes the watched tab back up.
If a page breaks: HTTP errors and CAPTCHAs can trigger a separate alert and auto-pause.
When the job is done: Auto-stop after a set number of checks or when a keyword changes.

Before you hand over a tab.

Short answers here. The documentation has the full setup and troubleshooting guide.

Does it work while the tab is in the background?

Yes. Keep Chrome open and TabEye keeps checking on schedule while you use other tabs, windows, or apps.

Can it watch pages behind a login?

Yes. Monitoring happens in the browser session you already use, so signed-in pages work too.

How do I avoid false alarms?

Watch only the relevant area, add a keyword, or use Confirmed mode so a change must persist across two checks.

Can I get alerts on my phone?

Yes. Connect Telegram or Discord from TabEye’s Connect tab and test the channel before you rely on it.

Is it really free?

Yes. TabEye is free to install and use, with no account required.

That page will change whether you watch it or not.

Let TabEye do the watching.
