Safari's 'Notify Me' feature is a new tool in macOS 27 Golden Gate that automatically monitors webpages and alerts users when specific changes occur. It uses Apple Intelligence to understand webpage content and track updates such as price drops, product restocks, registration openings, and policy changes.
To set up the feature, open Safari on your Mac, visit the webpage you want to monitor, and click the Page menu button next to the Smart Search field. Select 'Notify Me', describe the change you want to track, choose your preferred monitoring frequency, and click Done.
Safari allows users to customize the check schedule based on their needs. You can choose from hourly or daily schedules with specific times, or select weekly and monthly options that allow you to pick specific days for less frequent monitoring.
