changemonitor.io
Website monitoring. Native iOS and Android, Python backend, built on open source.
Specification
- PLATFORMS
- Native iOS in Swift and SwiftUI, native Android in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, both built by me
- BACKEND
- Python. Fetching pages, diffing and alerting all run server-side.
- FOUNDATION
- changedetection.io, open source I contribute code back upstream.
- STORE
- Live in the App Store and Google Play. From first concept to release, by me.
changemonitor.io is my own product, not a demo. It runs native on iOS and Android, with a Python backend that fetches pages, diffs them and alerts you, all on top of the open-source changedetection.io. That is the proof: I find my way in someone else's codebase and build a product on it that keeps running.

- PickThe app
- Whychangemonitor.io is built for exactly that and is live in both stores.
- You already run changedetection.io and want it on your phone
- PickThe app
- WhyThe app is a clean, native client for the open-source changedetection.io.
- You are judging whether I get productive in an unfamiliar codebase
- PickThe developer The pointThis is why it is on this site.
- WhyI built a working product on someone else's codebase and contribute my changes back to that project.
- You want iOS, Android and the backend from one pair of hands
- PickThe developer
- WhySwift with SwiftUI, Kotlin with Jetpack Compose and the Python backend, all three by me.
- You want one cross-platform codebase, Flutter or React Native
- PickA different developer
- WhyI build native on both platforms. That is a choice, not a compromise.
