TabEye
Restocks and drops
Sneakers, consoles, graphics cards, concert merch. Watch the product page and know the second "sold out" flips to "add to cart".

TabEye keeps an eye on any webpage and tells you the moment something changes. Restocks, tickets, prices, appointments. Set it once, go do something else.
No account needed. Works on any website you can open in a tab.
Use cases
One extension, a hundred waiting games won — what can TabEye watch for you?
If you have ever kept a tab open "just to check", TabEye can check it for you.
TabEye is a webpage change monitor that runs entirely in your browser. Point it at any tab and it performs website change detection on a schedule you choose, from every 5 seconds to once a day. When something changes it can play a sound, send a Discord or Telegram message, or switch you straight to the changed tab.
You can watch a whole page, a selected region, or a single keyword, so it only alerts when text like "sold out" disappears or "add to cart" appears. Use it as a restock alert on a sold-out product page, a ticket drop watcher, a price tracker for flights and hotels, or an appointment slot checker for visa and driving test bookings.
It is free, needs no account, and works on any page you can open in Chrome, including pages behind a login. Three detection modes, instant, confirmed and live, let you choose between raw speed and fewer false alarms.
Ticket releases
Waiting for extra dates or returned seats? Watch the ticket page and jump in before the queue forms.
How to set up ticket alerts →Appointment slots
Visa interviews, driving tests, doctor bookings, campsite reservations. Get pinged when a slot opens instead of checking every hour.
How to set up appointment alerts →Price changes
Watch the price on a flight, hotel or product you have been eyeing and act when the number moves.
How to set up price drop alerts →Job boards
Watch a company's careers page or a saved search and be one of the first applications in, not number 400.
How to set up job alerts →Orders and queues
Delivery statuses, waitlist positions, auction bids, forum replies, exam results pages. Anything that updates when you least expect it.

Features
Built for serious waiting — what features does TabEye have?
Simple to start, with enough control underneath when you want it.
Your schedule, per tab
Check every 5 seconds or once a day. Every watched tab gets its own interval and its own countdown.
Watch just the part that matters
Highlight a price, a button or a status label and TabEye ignores the rest of the page. No false alarms from ads or rotating banners.
Keyword alerts
Only care when "in stock" appears or "sold out" disappears? Set a keyword and TabEye alerts you on exactly that.
Alerts that reach you
Play a sound, send a message to your Discord server or ping your Telegram, so you catch the change even away from your desk.
Jump straight to the action
Turn on focus-on-alert and TabEye switches you to the changed tab the instant it fires. No hunting through your tab bar.
Two detection styles
Instant mode alerts on the first change it sees. Stable mode waits for a second confirmation, handy on pages that flicker.
Polite while you type
Filling in a form on a watched page? TabEye pauses its countdown while you type so it never refreshes mid-sentence.
Recovers on its own
If Chrome puts a watched tab to sleep, TabEye notices within a minute or two and wakes it back up. Your watch keeps running.
How it works
Three steps, then hands off — how does TabEye work?
Open the page
Go to the page you want to watch, exactly as you normally would. Logged in pages work too, because it is your own browser.
Set your check
Click the TabEye icon, pick how often to check and optionally add a keyword or select a specific part of the page.
Get alerted
A countdown appears on the page and TabEye takes over. When something changes, you hear it, see it or get a message.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Does it work while the tab is in the background?
Yes. Once a tab is being watched you can switch to other tabs, windows or apps. TabEye keeps checking on schedule and alerts you when something changes.
Can it watch only one part of a page?
Yes. Press a hotkey on the watched page and drag a box around the section you care about, like a price or a stock label. TabEye then ignores changes anywhere else on the page.
How often can it check?
Anywhere from every 5 seconds to once every 24 hours. Each watched tab has its own schedule, so a fast moving drop and a slow moving job board can run side by side.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign up, no login and nothing to configure on a server. Install the extension and start watching a page in under a minute.
Can I get alerts on my phone?
Yes. Connect a Telegram bot or a Discord webhook in the extension's Connect tab. Alerts then arrive wherever you use those apps, including your phone. You can even ask the Telegram bot for a screenshot of the watched page.
Will it slow down my computer?
TabEye only does work at the moments it checks, and only on the tabs you choose. Between checks it sits idle. Longer intervals use even less.
What if the site shows a CAPTCHA or goes down?
TabEye can recognize error pages and "verify you are human" challenges on watched tabs and alert you separately, with an optional distinct sound, so you know the watch needs your attention rather than silently stalling.
Which browsers does it support?
TabEye is built for Google Chrome (version 116 or newer). It may also work on other Chromium based browsers that support Chrome extensions.
Is it free?
Yes, TabEye is free to install and use.
