Overview
Common Ninja's Wake Up Notification widget brings visitors back when they switch to another browser tab. It changes your page's tab title, and can animate it, to catch the eye of someone who has drifted away, for example with a short message or a reminder about their basket.
What it does
- Custom tab title text when the visitor leaves the page
- Optional animated or alternating title
- Original title restored when they come back
- Messages set in Common Ninja's editor
Who it suits
Shops, course creators and lead generation sites that want a gentle nudge for visitors who open many tabs.
Honest caveats
Used heavily it can feel gimmicky, so keep the message short and useful. The free plan has usage limits and paid plans are billed yearly per widget, from $24 a year. Site-wide installation needs code injection on a Squarespace Core plan or higher.
Consider Wake Up Notification Widget when animation, scroll effects, and interaction detail needs to feel intentional. Common Ninja describes the plugin for teams adding motion and scroll-driven polish, emphasizing scroll-triggered reveals, hover and transition behavior, and performance-conscious motion.
Most teams evaluate it against manual layout tweaks: the pitch is faster iteration on animation, scroll effects, and interaction detail without exporting the problem to custom code.
Fit depends on your template and commerce setup; compare Common Ninja’s live examples to your own navigation, commerce, or section patterns before buying.
Use SquareLocator as a starting point, then validate details (refunds, updates, support channels) directly with Common Ninja before committing.
Strongest when your brief explicitly mentions animation, scroll effects, and interaction detail; weaker if you only need generic “make the site better” tooling.
