What it does

Changes, uptime and tests, checked from your desk.

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.

Pages behind a login Sign in once in Monity’s own browser. The session stays on your computer.

Uptime Website, keyword, port and DNS monitors, as often as every 30 seconds. Local addresses work too: your dev server, your router, a site on your VPN.

Browser tests Check that sign-up, login, search or checkout still works, step by step, with a picture of every page.

Datasets (beta) Collect rows from many pages, such as products and prices, and see which are new, changed or gone. Export to CSV, Excel, JSON or Markdown.

Alerts Desktop notifications, email through your own mail server, Discord, Microsoft Teams and webhooks. Each alert opens what it is about.

Bring your own AI

Use the AI you already pay for.

AI is optional. Connect one 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.

FAQ

Questions about Monity Desktop

Is Monity Desktop really free?

Yes. 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.

Do checks run while my computer is off or asleep?

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.

Which Mac download do I need?

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.

Why does Windows say “Windows protected your PC”?

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.

Does the app update itself?

Yes. It offers each new version by itself, and your monitors and their history carry over.

Can I move my monitors to another computer?

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.

Need checks around the clock?

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.
