SCMWC Watches the Pixels So You Don’t Have To
A tiny Windows utility monitors any screen region and alerts you when a progress bar, colour, spinner, log, or other visual signal changes.
Field notes
SCMWC compares pixels in a selected screen region instead of relying on an application integration or API. It supports five trigger styles, including quiet-period detection for spinners and scrolling logs, and can locate a progress bar inside a larger framed window. The page documents a 22-second negative test for using a bar condition on percentage text, and says a 30-second quiet window can avoid false completion alerts during pauses. A Discord webhook is available for phone notifications.
