⚡ How It Works

1 · Drop in a link Run /watch with any URL. Hootloot reads the page immediately, figures out on its own whether it needs a full browser, and shows you exactly what it can see.

2 · Tell it what matters Pick from seven things to watch for — price drops, restocks, size availability, new listings. Not keywords. Real changes in the page's actual state.

3 · Get told, once An alert lands in your channel or your DMs with what changed and a link straight to the page. Pause, snooze, or wake it up from the alert itself.

Run /hootloot help for the full guide, or /hootloot status to check your watches are healthy.

🎯 Seven Things To Watch For

Most page-watchers just diff the text and fire on anything. Hootloot reads the page's structured product data and only alerts on a real change of state — so a shuffled recommendations carousel doesn't wake you at 3am.

📉 Price drops Only when it gets cheaper. You get the exact numbers: $145.00 → $120.00 (−17%).		💲 Any price change Up or down. For when a price move in either direction is the signal.		📦 Back in stock A real sold-out → available transition. Not the phrase "add to cart" appearing somewhere in the HTML.
📏 Size availability Tracks which sizes are actually buyable. Add a filter and it only pings you for your size.		🆕 New items added Watch a collection or category page and hear about it the moment something new lands.		🚫 Sold out  ·  🔔 Any change Know the second something disappears — or just watch the whole page and let AI describe what moved.

🔍 It Shows You What It Sees

The most common failure of a page-watcher is silence you can't interpret. Is it working, or is it broken? Hootloot removes the guesswork.

👁️ Live readout Every watch shows exactly what Hootloot can currently read off the page — $32.00 · In stock · sizes S. If that's not what you expected, you know the watch is aimed wrong now, not after three weeks of silence.

🤝 Honest about limits Some pages hide their price behind scripts Hootloot can't reach. When that happens it says so, plainly, and falls back to watching for any change — instead of quietly never firing and letting you think it's working.

📬 Alerts On Your Terms

🌙 Quiet hours Set the window you don't want to be disturbed. Alerts that land during it are held, not dropped — they arrive the moment quiet hours end. Nothing is ever lost.		📰 Daily digest Prefer one summary to a stream of pings? Switch to digest and get a single rollup at the hour you choose, grouped by page.
⏸️ Pause & snooze Every alert carries its own controls. Snooze a noisy watch for 24 hours — and un-snooze it the second you change your mind.		🔁 It heals itself If a site goes down, Hootloot backs off and keeps retrying. When the site returns, your watch picks up right where it left off. No dead watches pretending to be alive.
