About ARENA
Built by one person who got tired of pressing refresh.
Hi, I'm Manoj Arumugam, a software engineer in Chennai. ARENA started on the night I refreshed a ticket page for what felt like the hundredth time, waiting for an IMAX show to open. Nothing on the page changed. I just stopped trusting it.
So I built something to do the refreshing for me, and, more importantly, to keep quiet about it. ARENA checks the pages you care about on a schedule and says one thing, once, when what you're waiting for actually happens. No feeds and no digests you didn't ask for.
It's an independent project, designed, built and maintained by me, and it runs on free AI keys and a single cloud server. It has grown from cinema tickets to train PNRs, price drops, job listings, weather warnings and mail. The rule hasn't changed: if it isn't worth a message, you don't get one.

Silence is the default
An agent that has nothing to say says nothing. You hear about the change, not the checking.
“Couldn't check” isn't “nothing happened”
When a page can't be read, ARENA tells you it couldn't look. It never pretends all is well.
Your things stay yours
Your agents, your mail, your keys. ARENA shows them to no one else, the admin included.
