What you get

Small tools that do one job well.

No dashboards you'll never open. Point a watcher at something, get an email when it breaks and when it recovers.

Uptime watchers

HTTP(S) checks every 1–60 minutes. Failures are re-tested before you're paged, so a single dropped packet doesn't ruin your evening.

SSL expiry watchers

Expiry countdowns, issuer, hostname coverage and chain validity. Reminders at your warning window, then 7, 3 and 1 day out.

Downloadable tools

Single-file Python utilities — multi-host ping, subnet discovery, bulk cert audit. Read the source, run them anywhere. Free with an account.

Alerts that mean something

One email when it goes down, one when it's back, with the error and how long it lasted. Not one per failed check.

History you can show a client

Response times, 24h / 7d / 30d uptime and an incident log for every watcher. Handy when someone asks "was it down?"

Polite, accountable bot

A clearly identified user-agent, no redirect chasing, no crawling. It checks the URL you gave it and nothing else.

Licensing, explained

One license = one watcher.

Every plan is a pool of licenses at $1 each. Spend them however you like across tools. Watching a site's uptime uses one; watching its certificate uses another. Pause a watcher and its license is free to use elsewhere.

  1. Pick a pool size. Five minimum ($5/mo), grow it whenever.
  2. Add watchers. Uptime, SSL, and more tools as we ship them.
  3. Rebalance any time. Pause, delete or add — licenses move with you.

Need twelve? That's $12/mo. No tiers to decode.

Five watchers. Five bucks.
