Feature Request: One change for the most important use of Notify Me
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Apple introduced the “Notify Me” feature in Safari as part of macOS 27, allowing the built‑in Apple Intelligence to watch a web page and push a notification when the content changes. The tool is marketed for scenarios such as price‑drop alerts and stock‑availability monitoring. However, the feature caps its polling interval at one hour, which prevents users from employing it for high‑frequency tasks like ticket sales that can open minutes—or seconds—before an event. A 9to5Mac editorial argues that a finer‑grained check, as short as 15 seconds, would unlock the most valuable use case while suggesting safeguards such as limited duration and cooldown periods to avoid site overload. The piece calls on Apple to add this option and invites reader feedback through a poll.
💡 Why It Matters
- · Enabling minute‑level checks would turn Safari into a practical, AI‑driven ticket‑sniping assistant, turning a manual race against time into an automated, reliable process.
