Monity.ai
Watch pages for changes, check that sites are up and test that sign-up still works, from a free app for Mac and Windows. No account, no subscription, no credits.
Page changes. Watch a whole page, one element or an area, for text or visual changes, as often as every 5 minutes, with a picture of exactly what changed.
These are the app’s own screens, on a Mac.
Why run it on your computer
Checks start from your own computer, so local addresses work: your dev server, your router, a site on your VPN. For pages behind a login, sign in once in Monity’s own browser; the session stays on your computer, encrypted.
There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to pay. The app sends no error reports and no usage data, and your monitors and their history stay on your computer.
Close the window and checks carry on, from the menu bar on a Mac or the system tray on Windows.
A notification on your computer, an email through your own mail server, a message in Discord or Microsoft Teams, or a webhook. Each one opens what it is about.
Bring your own AI
AI is optional. Connect a model and it describes each change in plain words, and Ask Monity sets up monitors and answers questions about them. Without one, everything else still works.
Use Claude Code or Codex if they are on your computer, Ollama, your own API key, or a built-in model that downloads once and runs offline.
It works with your AI tools too. Claude Code, Codex and other MCP clients can create and review your monitors, through Monity’s local MCP server.

DownloadYes. There is no account, no subscription and no credits: the app runs on your own computer. If you want checks that keep running while your computer is off, Monity in the cloud has a free plan too.
No. Checks run while the app is open. Close the window and it keeps working from the menu bar on a Mac or the system tray on Windows, but nothing is checked while the computer sleeps or is shut down. For checks around the clock, use Monity in the cloud.
Nothing. It sends no error reports and no usage data, and it checks for updates without an id of your install. The pages you watch are opened from your own connection, and if you connect an AI model, what it reads goes to the model you chose.
Open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. If it lists a Chip such as Apple M1, M2, M3 or M4, take the Apple Silicon download. If it lists an Intel Processor, take the Intel one.
The Windows installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows shows that warning the first time. Choose More info, then Run anyway. The Mac downloads are signed and notarized by Apple.
Yes. It offers each new version by itself, and your monitors and their history carry over.
Yes. Export your monitors, their history and your settings to one file and import it on the other computer. Passwords and keys are entered again there; saved sign-ins go along only if you choose.
Monity in the cloud keeps checking while your computer is off, and keeps a full-page screenshot and a saved copy of every version of the page.
