iWatch Alternatives
iWatch is described as 'realtime filesystem monitoring program. Its purpose is to monitor any changes in a specific directory or file and send email notification immediately after the change' and is an app in the os & utilities category. There are six alternatives to iWatch for Windows, Mac and Linux. The best alternative is WatchDirectory. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try DaemonFS or fseventer. Other great apps like iWatch are Watch 4 Folder, HDD Profiler and Tweakeze.
