AutoWebNotify

AutoWebNotify is a tiny piece of software designed to provide you notifications from your favorite websites on your desktop. You can make sure never to miss important news, podcasts and updates for your favorite services, web apps and content.

The program comes with a rather rugged, yet intuitive and easy to navigate interface that is unlikely to give you any troubles. Upon launch, the app prompts you to add a website to track, an operation that entails pasting the link in the dedicated checkbox.

As far as customization is concerned, the app enables you to specify how often you would like the site to be scan, intervals that vary between 1 second to 1 hour. In case 1h is still a bit too fast for your taste, you can add a custom interval. The utility includes a few presets for how the notifications should be received, as plaintext, YouTube style or custom.

You will be happy to learn that via the custom preset, you can bypass form filling and other authentication methods for a website. At the same time, the developer states that you can select the preferred polling speed, be it conservative or network intensive.

Granted, it can be argued that you can achieve the same results if you have Chrome installed on your computer. While the built-in desktop notifications are great, let us not forget that you need to have the website open. Thanks to this tool, you can carry on with your activities without having your browser or the site open.

Whether you are a marketer, journalist or perhaps, just want to make sure you do not miss any important news from news channels or retail discounts for instance, then perhaps you can consider giving AutoWebNotify a try.
