There is an important trade-off in local monitoring: it is private and direct, but it depends on your machine.

Nothing is uploaded

The screenshots used for visual comparison stay in the app’s local data folder. There are no accounts, analytics SDKs, remote screenshot storage, or cloud workers in the first version.

Your computer does the checking

Monitoring works while PageDog is running, the computer is awake, and an internet connection is available. The app makes this visible instead of pretending to offer a 24/7 service it does not provide.

A trade-off worth seeing

For a private appointment page or a personal booking workflow, keeping the data on your own computer is often the more comfortable default.
