Apple has introduced Notify Me, a Safari feature that lets users monitor changes on websites and receive alerts at selected intervals. The tool is included in iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate, according to Engadget.

Users can describe what they want Safari to monitor, then choose hourly, daily, weekly or monthly checks. Reported use cases include product price drops, restocks, concert ticket availability, tour dates and news updates.

Notify Me operates within Safari and does not require a third-party app or browser extension. Alerts can be managed through Safari or through Settings.

Monitoring runs on the device where the alert is created rather than in the cloud. That means users need to set up an alert on the device where they are most likely to see the notification.

The supplied report does not specify which websites or page changes the feature can reliably detect, or provide details on battery use, notification delivery, supported devices or regional availability.
