Keep it running

Cloud watches

Keep watching a page while your Mac sleeps: a saved browser program run in Jevie Cloud on a schedule, your phone told only when the result changes.

• Bankrate's 30-year rate and the monthly payment on $400kAsked from the phone, Mac asleep: a saved program answers it
• jevie-browser watch --name cd-rates --every 'every morning'The same from a terminal, for an agent

How it works

Save a browser program once (see Jevie for agents), then say how often to watch it. The first run notes the starting values; after that your phone hears only when one changes (Bankrate 5-year CD rose to 4.6%).

The same saved programs answer your phone's questions while the Mac sleeps, using the figures in what you asked, and the answer card says Ran in Jevie Cloud.

Limits

• Public pages only: nothing behind a sign-in, no typing, buying, sending or deleting. Those wait for the Mac.
• A read-only copy of the program, its schedule and which phones to notify is kept in Jevie Cloud; stop watching deletes it.
• Needs Care (5 watches); each run uses some of the month's budget.
• Notifications go to the Android app; an iPhone home-screen app hears only while the Mac is awake.

Where it's kept

On the Mac: ~/.jevie/browser-scripts/.

In Jevie, help cloud watch answers from this page as you type.
