Comeback idea

A simple alert app that notifies small business owners when files they care about change or get filed.

The write-up

FileWatch turns a dry records service into a friendly alert app, and it's ready for a second act. Small businesses and busy professionals now expect instant notifications, so a clean, focused watch-and-alert app fits right into everyday workflows. It's up for a fresh start, and here's how you'd relaunch it: a lightweight mobile and web app with customizable alert settings, launched at filewatchapp.com.
