PriceLens — Local Price Tracker & Drop Alerts

About

**PriceLens turns any product page into a tracked price.** Visit Amazon, Trendyol, Hepsiburada, eBay, AliExpress, N11, or virtually any modern shop — a floating Track button slides into view. Click once. Done. PriceLens will quietly re-check that page on a schedule you control and notify you the moment the price drops.

Every byte of your data stays on your device. No account, no sign-in, no analytics SDKs, no remote servers, no Honey-style data hoarding. The extension does exactly what you'd expect it to and nothing more.

### ✦ Features

🏷️ **Universal Track button**
A single button injected into product pages on every supported shop. Click to start, click again to stop.

📉 **Drop alerts**
Native Chrome notifications fire whenever the price moves below the last recorded value. Set a threshold ("only ≥ 5 %") to cut noise, or use **target price** to be alerted when an item hits the number you actually want.

📊 **30-day mini chart**
Each tracked item shows an inline sparkline of its price history, with low/high bounds and a color that flips emerald when prices are falling and rose when they're climbing.

🌍 **Multi-currency, multi-site**
Hand-tuned extractors for Amazon (all locales), Trendyol, Hepsiburada, eBay, AliExpress, and N11 — plus a universal JSON-LD Product schema detector that works on most other modern shops automatically.

🔁 **Background checks you control**
Pick your own interval — every hour, every 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours. The service worker fetches your tracked URLs in the background and updates the history. No tabs to keep open.

💾 **Backup & restore**
Export all tracked items to a portable JSON file. Import on another machine. Your price history follows you.

🔒 **100% local. Always.**
All data lives in your browser's IndexedDB. PriceLens never talks to our servers because there *are* no servers. No analytics, no telemetry, no CDN, no remote code execution. Open the source and check.

🌐 **English · Türkçe · Deutsch**
Full UI translations across the popup, settings, and notifications.

### ✦ How it works

The Track button reads either the standard JSON-LD Product schema (most modern shops ship it) or a site-specific selector pack for the major platforms. The product URL is saved to local IndexedDB along with the current price. A periodic alarm refetches the page, parses the price from the raw HTML, appends it to a local history, and triggers a notification on a real drop.

### ✦ Privacy

PriceLens is a single static bundle. There is no networking outside of the same `fetch()` calls you'd make manually loading the same product page. We do not collect, store, sell, or process any of your data. Full statement: see the Privacy tab.

### ✦ Permissions

- **storage** — saves your settings (interval, threshold, notifications toggle).
- **alarms** — schedules the periodic price check.
- **notifications** — shows the drop alert.
- **activeTab** — reads the active page URL only when you click Track.
- **<all_urls>** — required to inject the Track button on any shopping site you visit, and to re-fetch tracked URLs in the background.

### ✦ What it does NOT do

- ❌ No coupon hijacking, no affiliate-link injection.
- ❌ No DOM mutation outside of a single floating Track button (closed shadow DOM — isolated from page styles).
- ❌ No reading of unrelated pages — only the page where you click Track and only the URLs you tracked.
- ❌ No background tabs, no popups, no redirects.
