Secure Watch-Only Bitcoin Address Monitoring for Any Public Address
BitWatch is a clean, user-friendly tool from sats.network that turns the public nature of the Bitcoin blockchain into a powerful monitoring dashboard. Add any Bitcoin address (yours or public ones) to track balances, transaction history, and activity alerts, all in a secure watch-only environment that never requires or stores private keys.
Perfect for portfolio oversight, verifying incoming payments, watching whale movements, or simply staying informed about specific addresses, BitWatch provides live Bitcoin price integration and aggregated stats without the risks of a full wallet.
Since every Bitcoin transaction is permanently recorded on the public ledger, tools like BitWatch let you observe the entire network’s activity for any address, turning transparency into actionable insights.

How Alerts Work in BitWatch
BitWatch detects transaction activity on your monitored addresses and displays alerts in the “Recent Alerts” section.

This approach keeps the tool lightweight and focused on privacy, as no external services are required for alerts.
