- Builds an archive over time, including all changes to pages, images, style sheets and js
- View and be able to demonstrate what a page looked like on a particular date
- View a 'living' version of a historical page, not a screenshot

What’s new in version 3.1.1
Version 3.1.1:
- Migrates the change history to its own location in Application Support. This is to prevent possible corruption of user's configurations in cases where the change history grows very large. It also means that the change history can be managed or cleared easily and independently of other things. (change history is distinct from the website archives, which have always had their own location.)
- Fixes problem that would prevent images from showing in the archive browser if the page in question had images but zero hyperlinks.

What users say about Website Watchman
Features: 3.0
Basically 2 features: download website and view single web pages. Why isn't there a real web browser or at least a feature to open the downloaded website in my own web browser?

Version: 3.1.1
WW will just not do what it promises: Scan and download websites on a predefined schedule. I chose "daily" for some websites, even set a time and "comitted" the changes (why is this even necessary?) but the app refuses to run. Only manual scans work for the "daily" setting.
Furthermore there is only a rudimentary browser funcionality for singel web pages, not entire sites. Why not make downloaded websites available in your own web browser? If the app should mimic the time machine concept why not use a similar UX?
