# PixelWatch

> PixelWatch is a web-app for visual website monitoring. Add a public URL, run daily checks, review full-page screenshots and highlighted visual diffs, and use alerts plus history to decide what changed.

PixelWatch is positioned around paste-a-URL monitoring for competitor pages, marketing pages, and no-code client sites. It is a web-app workflow for daily URL checks, full-page screenshots, visual diffs, alerts, and history.

Important notes:

- PixelWatch is not claimed to replace Distill local monitors, browser-extension selectors, private-page workflows, or every notification channel.
- Comparisons and alternative pages evaluate workflow fit. They do not claim PixelWatch is faster, cheaper, more accurate, or a full replacement for Distill or other monitoring tools.
