The dashboard settings are organized into five tabs: Account, API & Monitoring, Appearance, Integrations, and Data.

​
Account

​
Profile

Shows your name, email, and current plan. Click Manage plan to view upgrade options.

​
Password

Change your password (only available for email/password accounts, not social logins).

​
Delete account

Permanently delete your account, all watches, and all data. This cannot be undone. A confirmation dialog requires explicit confirmation before proceeding.

​
API & Monitoring

​
API connection

Your API key connects the dashboard to the backend. Copy it to use in the browser extension or other integrations. See Connecting to the Dashboard for setup details.

​
Check frequency

Set the default check interval for all watches. Individual watches can override this in their own settings. The allowed range depends on your plan: Pro also includes 10 fast slots that can be assigned to individual watches at intervals down to 1 minute from each watch’s settings.

​
AI features

Bring your own API key (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, or Google Gemini) for AI-powered change summaries. See AI Features for details.

​
Automatic noise reduction

On by default. A watch whose measured noise justifies it can have ignore rules added after the fact, each one backtested against that watch’s own stored snapshots before it is applied. It never touches the element you pointed at in the picker. See Automatic Noise Repair for details.

​
Noise reduction

Two account-wide switches, both on by default, that apply to every watch rather than only new ones:
  • Ignore timestamps and counters — strips relative timestamps (“3 minutes ago”), view counts (“1.2k views”), and similar dynamic text
  • Ignore ads and cookie banners — strips advertising and consent blocks using public blocklists
Turn them off if a page you monitor legitimately reports counts or timestamps you need to be alerted on.

​
Appearance

​
Theme

Choose between three modes:
  • Auto — Follows your system dark/light preference
  • Dark — Always dark
  • Light — Always light
The theme applies to the web dashboard. The browser extension has its own theme setting.

​
Watch list actions

Customize which action buttons appear on each watch in your list. Core actions (Recheck, Preview, Diff, Timeline, Settings, Delete) are always visible. Optional actions can be toggled on or off:
  • Screenshots — Quick access to screenshot capture
  • RSS feed — Link to the watch’s RSS feed
  • Share link — Generate a shareable link for the watch configuration
  • Open site — Open the watched URL in a new tab
Changes are saved automatically and apply immediately.

​
Integrations

​
Browser extension

Links to install the extension from the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons. After installing, copy your API key from the API & Monitoring tab to connect.

​
AI Integration (MCP)

Configure the Site Spy MCP server to connect AI assistants. See MCP Integration for the full setup guide.

​
Data

​
Team management

Invite and manage team members (Business plan only). See Team Management.

​
Bulk import

Import URLs in bulk by pasting them or uploading a file. See Import & Export.

​
Data export

Export your watches as JSON (full configuration) or as a plain URL list. See Import & Export.
