CeX Stock Finder

Changelog

What's new

Every notable change to CeX Tracker, newest first.

Delete your synced data

  • NewDelete my data in Sync & alerts removes your watchlist, target prices and My store from our server and every linked device, and retires the sync code.
  • ChangedSynced watchlists nobody has opened for a year are now deleted automatically. The privacy notice explains both.
  • FixedA first catalogue refresh that comes back incomplete is now saved as the starting point instead of failing; later refreshes fill in the rest.

Splash screens, price targets and refresh alerts

  • NewSet a target price on any watched product and get a notification when it drops to it. Watchlist cards show the target and flag when it has been reached.
  • NewStock Finder, Store Finder and Stock Radar open with a short branded splash screen.
  • NewPrivacy notice, terms of use and this changelog.
  • ChangedThe team is now warned when the daily catalogue refresh fails, is slow, or hasn't run for over a day.

MePOS

  • NewMePOS, a new app, has a coming-soon page.

Faster, gentler catalogue refreshes

  • ChangedThe catalogue now refreshes once a day at 06:00 UK time instead of twice.
  • FixedRefreshes no longer fail when CeX rate-limits requests: they pace themselves, back off and send several queries per request.
  • FixedShelf-label barcodes (Code 93) are read reliably, including by Android's built-in barcode reader.
  • ChangedNew darker app icons and favicons.
  • ChangedPrice changes now load from the daily snapshot only, so they are quick and never hit CeX directly.

Barcode scanner, watchlist sync and a big UI refresh

  • NewPoint the camera at a shelf label: the scanner freezes on the barcode and opens the product page.
  • NewWatchlist with back-in-stock and cheaper-than-starred badges, synced between devices with a code and optional push notifications.
  • NewMy store: see whether your store has an item at a glance, with nearby stores listed first.
  • NewBuying/Selling price toggle, grade comparison on product pages, a compare tray and a step chart with a year of price history.
  • NewSearch suggestions from your recent searches, categories and the whole catalogue as you type.
  • NewPrice changes can be filtered to drops, a category or your store.
  • ChangedMobile-first layout for Stock Finder with cards, a filter sheet, a bottom bar and UK date formats; Store Finder and Stock Radar brought in line.
  • ChangedZoom is disabled on mobile so the apps behave like native ones.
  • FixedAccessibility fixes from an automated audit, and "Recently viewed" no longer shows empty "UK" entries.
  • ChangedThe database tidies itself up every night.

Label reading and shopping helpers

  • NewSearch by barcode, then read CeX shelf labels with the camera (later replaced by the barcode scanner).
  • NewGood finds get a shareable link and a spreadsheet export.
  • NewCompare products side by side.
  • NewEvery store gets its own page in Store Finder.
  • ChangedThe apps now say clearly when you're offline.
  • ChangedTidier mobile navigation; country selection moved into the menu.

Coolify deployment

  • ChangedAll services can be deployed together on Coolify.

Recommendations

  • NewProduct pages suggest related items.
  • NewDiscord bot: commands to manage report webhooks.

New look with Tailwind

  • ChangedRedesigned Stock Finder, Store Finder, Stock Radar and the API pages.
  • NewDiscord bot: management commands and per-store report channels.

Reliable catalogue updates

  • FixedFixed catalogue refreshes that stalled or missed price updates. Large catalogues are now fetched in stages to keep memory low.

Operations, price history and Stock Radar filters

  • NewProduct price history is recorded on every refresh.
  • NewOperations dashboard with live refresh progress, per-country details and retries.
  • NewStore changes are tracked; Stock Radar gets better filters and store autocomplete.
  • NewThe apps link to each other from a shared menu.
  • ChangedNew Orkney typeface, red app headers and updated branding across every app.
  • ChangedDiscord bot shows live refresh progress in its status.
  • FixedLocation search, the mobile app selector and refresh recovery after interruptions.

PostgreSQL

  • ChangedMoved to PostgreSQL for faster queries and no database locks; the catalogue imports in batches.
  • NewManual catalogue refresh.

Stock Radar and filters

  • NewStock Radar: see products coming back online or into stores.
  • NewCategory-specific filters (facets) in search.
  • NewLink previews when sharing pages.

  • NewA GraphQL API and sandbox, now running on Apollo Server.
  • NewDark mode, installable apps (PWA) and search links you can share.
