Automatically monitors Amazon prices on items you've purchased and alerts you when prices drop so you can request a price adjustment or time your next buy.

• Auto-imports orders from Gmail - Scans your Amazon order confirmation emails and adds items to tracking automatically
• Tracks new and used prices - Checks both new and used/renewed prices on Amazon
• Email alerts - Sends you an email when prices drop below your thresholds
• Recall monitoring - Scans CPSC and FDA databases for product recalls on everything you've purchased
• Per-product or global thresholds - Set alert rules per item (% drop, $ drop, target price) or apply global thresholds
• Screenshots - Captures Amazon product page screenshots with each price check (requires Playwright)
• Auto-update notifications - Dashboard shows a banner when a newer version is available
• Run at startup - Toggle in Settings to auto-launch when Windows boots (system tray, no console window)

1. Download AmazonPriceTracker.exe from the latest release
2. Double-click to run
3. The app appears in your system tray (orange box icon, bottom-right of taskbar)
4. Your browser opens to the dashboard automatically

First launch takes 1-2 minutes to set up Playwright (screenshot support). After that it starts instantly.

1. Make sure Python 3 is installed (check "Add to PATH" during install)
2. Download amazon_price_tracker.py
3. Double-click it - all dependencies install automatically on first run

1. Download amazon_price_tracker.py and run_mac.command
2. Open Terminal and run: chmod +x run_mac.command
3. Double-click run_mac.command in Finder

Once the dashboard opens:

1. Click Settings in the nav bar
2. Enter your Gmail address and a Gmail App Password
3. Set SMTP to smtp.gmail.com port 587 (pre-filled)
4. Click Save
5. Click Import Orders on the dashboard to pull in your Amazon purchases
6. The app will check prices automatically every 2-4 hours (randomized to avoid detection)

You can set thresholds per product or globally:

• % drop - Alert when price drops by this percentage from what you paid
• $ drop - Alert when price drops by this dollar amount
• Target price - Alert when price falls to or below this amount

Alerts are sent as emails with the product name, old price, new price, percentage change, Amazon link, and optional screenshots.
