Monitoring webpages for changes?

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good app for the Mac that will monitor a given web page for any changes in content and immediately send an email or other alert letting me know. I don't care so much about the particular changes, just the fact that a change was made.

I was looking at Web Secretary, but it's a *nix app that doesn't have a GUI and I'm not entirely sure it would do what I need. I would rather have something a bit more user-friendly anyway, and preferably free.
 
thanks for the suggestion, but that seems to only offer the quickest updates at once per day... I'm looking for something that would check continuously throughout the day and alert me immediately when a change is made
 
New Mac user and need suggestions on a good monitoring tool. Any suggestions? Simon looks pretty good, has anyone used it?
 
It's unfortunate but Changes Meter is no longer maintained. It is a 32bit app and will only work with MacOSs before 10.15 (Catalina). The developer has sold his website and doesn't respond. The best FREE option is the open source python package urlwatch hosted on GitHub which is actively maintained.
