CodeWatcher is very useful when you build websites. Just give it a local HTML file to display and it will scan the folder for changes and reload appropriately.
CodeWatcher realizes whenever you save or rename or delete a file in your project directory, be it CSS, HTML, JPG, PNG, CFG, and automatically reloads your HTML so that you can see the results immediately.
In this way you don`t have to use the cumbersome switch-and-reload moniker anymore.
NOTE: CodeWatcher can only be downloaded via the Mac App Store (the download link redirects you to its App Store page). To purchase/download applications via the App Store an Apple account is required.
Here are some key features of "CodeWatcher":
· Fullscreen Browsing
· Browser window can be always on top
· Define exception folders that shouldn`t trigger a reload
· Set an URL to reload instead of the local path (i.e. localhost:8080)
· Create projects for all your development sites
· Build-In FireBug Lite (Online version)
· History
