Bump, Would live this Currently trying to find Mac Studio and a studio display would love to be able to watch for both. I thought maybe I could duplicate and run the app twice but doesn't seem to work that away.

Any workaround you can suggest for the time being?

Any workaround you can suggest for the time being?

A limited workaround is to leverage the Custom SKU feature of InventoryWatch - if you can find the model identifier for the product you want, you can use that as a Custom SKU feature in InventoryWatch's settings, and the app will track that alongside your product selection. So, you could select Mac Studio as your Product Type, and then add a Studio Display model number as a Custom SKU. Finding those SKUs (aka model numbers) can be tricky, but they're all in the InventoryWatch codebase - check out these files:

  • https://github.com/worthbak/inventory-checker-app/blob/main/InventoryWatch/SKUData.swift
  • https://github.com/worthbak/inventory-checker-app/blob/main/InventoryWatch/iPhoneModels14-intl.json
  • https://github.com/worthbak/inventory-checker-app/blob/main/InventoryWatch/iPhoneModels13-intl.json
  • https://github.com/worthbak/inventory-checker-app/blob/main/InventoryWatch/AppleWatchUltra-intl.json

Custom SKU is not working for me. I am testing with SKU taken straight from the inventory. I've tried with a product known to be in stock but no luck.

@leandrolima-nyc mind sharing the SKU settings you're using? And what SKU you'd like to track? The feature is working for me, but happy to try and replicate your experience.

@worthbak I've tried with MQ8T3LL/A for 14ProMax and MNEJ3LL/A for M2 Air. It doesn't show anything. If I pick from the list it does.

@leandrolima-nyc I'm not able to replicate - using one of your noted SKUs (MQ8T3LL/A), I'm able to view results in the inventory list:

What other settings do you have an enabled? One known issue is that, if you've selected "Only show results for preferred models", Custom SKU items will not appear: #89

@worthbak Sweet. It works. Thanks! However it make more sense if "only show results for preferred model" included the custom SKU. Wonder the rationale to be the other way around.

@worthbak As a side note. Perhaps you could make a product list on a single page just as the store list and also add a search bar for product. This way, we could add all sort of items to be tracked at once. Additionally, you can pin to be top every item marked to make easier to manage.

Totally agree - the current behavior is a bug that'll be fixed in the next release.

@worthbak Oh, gotcha. Awesome. Thanks! Keep up the good work! 👊🏼
