What is it?
Most computer users like to keep an eye on a lot of various things, especially with the advent of the Internet. Unfortunately, getting fresh information frequently consumes a lot of time because it is usually not done efficiently. What a waste of time to consult a same piece of information ten times a day while it didn't change at all. What a disappointment to discover a change one hour (too) late because you checked for it only ten times a day!
KeepAnEye is a multipurpose monitoring and notification utility. It has been designed to help you to stay informed efficiently by tracking an unlimited number of data sources. It can make you save a considerable amount of time every day, while significantly improving your overall visibility.
Do you need to frequently consult some information? KeepAnEye provides visual representations which can be freely organized on the screen like stickies, in the menu bar like Menu Extras, and in the Dock. You can watch the evolution of the data source in real time.
Are you waiting for something to happen? KeepAnEye observes the data instead of you in order to notice various events. You can go about your activities with a free mind, you will be notified when something interesting happens.
RSS feeds, pictures, stock quotes, eBay auctions, software updates, IP addresses, disk usage… Messages, sounds, e-mails, AppleScripts… KeepAnEye supports numerous kinds of data sources and notifications. It takes advantage of a flexible architecture where each data source and each action is handled by a dedicated plug-in. New features can easily be added by installing new plug-ins.
That flexibility also opens the doors for another major advantage. All those services are available within a single, homogenous application. Running a large number of utilities has many drawbacks: some basic feature is always missing, your working environment gets cluttered, and as each tool provides its own interface and feature set, some learning is required for every one of them. Just stop bothering yourself.
