What is ShareWatcher?

ShareWatcher answers two questions about a Windows file share: who is accessing it, and what just happened to its files. New, changed and deleted files are reported as they happen with Live Folder Monitoring, or on a schedule with polled monitoring, which also watches FTP servers and catches files that arrived while ShareWatcher was off. Every event can send an email, play a sound, write to the Windows event log or run a command. Cadence Watcher watches for silence instead: a folder that should be filling has stopped. Actions process new files on arrival, including a QuickMove action that sorts them by rule. The Server licence records who created, changed or deleted each file (Auditing) and runs ShareWatcher as a Windows service; the Enterprise licence monitors other Windows computers remotely. Licences are one-off: Pro US$129, Server US$349, Enterprise US$749. Fully functional 30-day trial. Windows 7 SP1 to 11 and Windows Server 2012 R2 and above. Email support within 24 hours.

What is DeskSentry?

DeskSentry is an automation tool for Windows that monitors specific areas of the screen through local optical character recognition (OCR) and triggers predefined actions upon detecting certain text or events. This adaptable software can respond to a variety of stimuli, such as modifications on the screen, updates to files and folders, clipboard changes, active applications, log file modifications, hotkey presses, and scheduled tasks. Its range of actions includes sending notifications to platforms like Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, or through email, as well as posting updates via webhooks, launching applications, simulating keyboard inputs, managing dialog controls, and inserting data into SQL databases. The rules governing these actions can incorporate parameters sourced from triggers, including recognized text or file names. Additionally, DeskSentry keeps a record of rule activities and takes local screenshots while storing all rules and settings directly on the Windows system. Importantly, it operates without the need for user accounts and does not rely on telemetry or cloud services for rule execution, with server interaction limited solely to license verification. This application is particularly beneficial for administrators, quality assurance professionals, and laboratory personnel who are tasked with automating or overseeing Windows applications that lack suitable APIs, thereby significantly improving productivity and workflow efficiency. Furthermore, DeskSentry's user-friendly interface allows for straightforward setup and customization, making it an ideal choice for teams looking to streamline their processes.
