🧠 How It Works
Palert combines a powerful Rust backend with a beautiful Flutter frontend. It uses a headless browser to intelligently scrape product information directly from websites, ensuring you get real-time data without relying on any third-party APIs. It even handles captchas by mimicking real user behavior.
🛠 Requirements
- 🖥️ A supported web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox).
- 🛠️ The matching WebDriver for your browser (e.g., ChromeDriver or GeckoDriver).
🚀 Getting Started

🤖 Why I Made This
I built Palert to solve a personal problem: I was tired of manually checking multiple websites for price drops and stock updates. Existing tools were either too complex or didn't have the features I needed. So, I created my own solution that is simple, powerful, and respects user privacy by keeping all data local.
You are in complete control of your data.
