Website & API monitoring

Catch downtime before your users do.

Beacon watches HTTP endpoints, keywords, ports, SSL certificates, and cron heartbeats. The first failed check opens an incident. A public status page keeps everyone informed.

Live checks

Real HTTP probes from this app — not a mock.

Full status page

Every check that matters.

One dashboard for websites, APIs, and the jobs that are supposed to keep them alive.

HTTP(s)

Watch any URL. Assert status codes, measure response time, follow redirects.

Keyword

Alert when a phrase appears or disappears — catch blank pages and error copy.

Port

TCP checks for mail, SSH, databases, and anything else listening on a port.

Heartbeat

Give cron a unique ping URL. If the job goes missing, Beacon opens an incident.

SSL expiry

Certificate windows close quietly. Get a warning two weeks before they do.

Status pages

A public page with 90-day history, current incidents, and no extra tooling.

Start monitoring in seconds. Seriously.

01

Add a URL

HTTP, keyword, port, SSL, or a heartbeat token. Name it. Hit save.

02

We check it

Beacon fetches from the server on your interval, retries once, then records the result.

03

You hear about it

Incidents, in-app alerts, and optional webhooks. Publish a status page if you want.

False-positive control

Automatic recheck before down

Maintenance windows

Silence alerts during deploys

Response time

Charts on every monitor

Status pages

Tell customers the truth, automatically.

Attach monitors to a branded page. When something fails, the page flips to degraded and shows the incident. Support tickets drop because people already know.
