## How does Distill work?
Distill checks webpages in cloud using servers or locally on your computer using browser extensions. Whenever there is a change, Distill will notify you of the change. The iOS app lets you get push notifications from local and cloud monitors instantly. The Watchlist and history view lets you view the changes with great detail.
Note that Distill doesn't check the webpages on your phone, so it doesn't affect your phone's battery. The app is a client to view and mange your Watchlist and get push notifications.
## Check Intervals
Local monitors support a minimum check interval of 5 seconds for all plans.
Cloud monitors support 10 minutes check interval in Starter plan, 5 minutes in the Professional plan and 2 minutes in the Flexi plan.
## Alert Actions
Get alerts in the following ways once you set them as actions.
- Push notification on phones
- Email
- SMS
- Discord, Slack and Webhook
You can use conditions to receive alerts only on important changes matching the conditions.
## Subscription
The app needs a paid subscription. You can purchase an auto-renewing subscription through an In-App Purchase.
- 1 month Starter($14.99) and 1 month Professional($34.99). A 7-day free trial is available for Starter plan.
- Your subscription will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase and will automatically renew (at the duration selected) unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Current subscription may not be cancelled during the active subscription period; however, you can manage your subscription and/or turn off auto-renewal by visiting your iTunes Account Settings after purchase

Works great, if you take the time to understand and test the various elements and settings

While this may present as a simple solution, it works best when you spend time tweaking and testing your site monitoring. I’ve been able to set things up right in order to avoid missing things as well as false alarms. If you use this for business or for finding valuable items in a competitive market then it’s well worth the price. My only wishes right now is for there to be an Apple Watch app that I could use to at least see previews of monitor alerts without having to necessarily open my phone to check. Or for the visual preview seen in the email notifications to also be shown in the text notifications and through the webhook interfaces. The visual part is important to me so that would be huge.
The BEST there is…

I don’t usually write app reviews but try to give props to indie devs when I can. This is by far the best way to track websites for changes - not only for products. The upgraded version is totally worth every penny. I have monitoring running on my Mac in Chrome with NordVPN running as an extension. This way my entire machine isn’t on a VPN, only Chrome during monitoring so I don’t get locked out of retailers like Newegg or Asus that love to IP ban. If any button goes from “out of stock” or “auto-notify” to “add to cart” I get a push notification via the app, an email and a text. It’s just another tool to try and beat the bots! Love this developer and love this app! Wish I had known about it years ago…. Will continue to support them via the paid version! Dev- THANK YOU! Don’t ever stop!
Always alerts and support has been great

I use Distill to track rare product inventory. I’ve been able to purchase a lot of rare products thanks to this app using either the whole page or select part of page monitor. It alerts me by this app as well as discord webhooks. I’ve also used the email and text alerts which worked great but they were redundant as the other alerts were plenty. Tip: set your distill notification banner style to persistent so you never miss an alert. I contacted support to help me monitor a difficult page since I’m not a web developer and they quickly provided me with the JavaScript needed to monitor the product. I highly recommend this app.
Takes the time and worry out of monitoring a site

I absolutely love this App! I used it to monitor stock on a hard to get Canyon E bike. I set up one monitor to for the back in stock notification and another for the availability. It is easy and intuitive to set up the notifications. You can choose precise items of a webpage to monitor and how often you want them checked. Before using the app I was relying on me remembering to check the site every few hours throughout the day. Once I had the monitors in place, though, I could stop worrying and the notifications came straight to my phone and watch. I absolutely recommend this 100%!
