About this app

Less checking. More time for what matters.

Watchful runs web searches based on questions and conditions you choose. Keep an eye on fuel prices, calls for speakers, public mentions, or entertainment releases. Start with a preset or create your own watcher.

MAKE EACH CHECK YOURS
Add your context, write a question, and describe when a result deserves your attention. View findings and source links in the app.

CHECK MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY
Run a check when you need it, choose a schedule, or trigger checks when a configured Bluetooth device or recognized car connects. Use cooldowns to limit repeated checks. Background timing depends on Android, connectivity and power settings; exact timing is not guaranteed.

CHOOSE GEMINI OR OPENAI
Bring your own API key and review the data-sharing explanation before enabling checks. AI service availability, usage limits and charges depend on your provider and account. Watchful does not include AI credits or switch providers automatically.

OpenAI saves recent results and comparison history on your device. Gemini performs independent checks and keeps only the latest result per watcher for the current app session, displayed with Google Search sources. Gemini results expire when the app session ends and are not reused for historical comparisons. Alerts that depend on identifying a change or a previously unseen result require comparison history.

START WITH TWO ACTIVE WATCHERS
Use up to two active watchers for free, including supported automatic triggers. A one-time Watchful Pro purchase removes the active-watcher limit. AI provider charges remain separate. Restore Pro using the same Google Play account.

YOU CONTROL YOUR WATCHERS
Pause checks, edit instructions, delete watchers or remove saved API keys. Location permission is optional. Watcher data is sent to your selected AI provider to perform checks; API keys use secure storage on your device.

AI results can be inaccurate. Check sources before acting, especially for prices and time-sensitive information.
