Your status indicator
should match your brand.

Stop sending visitors to a status. subdomain that looks like a 2009 admin panel. Drop a Badge in your footer, a Card in your /status section. Same brand, same craft.

02How it works

Monitoring without
the devops apprenticeship.

01

Paste a URL.

https://api.acme.com/health. We probe it from a real region with a real HTTP client.

02

Pick an interval.

5 minutes on Free, 1 minute on Pro. Two consecutive failures open an Incident.

03

Drop the snippet.

One line of HTML in your footer, README, or marketing page. Done.

HTML · drop anywhere

03Uptime as proof

Turn your uptime
into proof.

Public uptime is social proof. Visitors who see 99.97% — 90 days on your homepage trust you more than visitors who don't. Your reliability becomes marketing.

The Card embed mounts in a shadow root, polls every 30 seconds, pauses when the host page is in a background tab. It can't be styled by the host page — and it can't leak in.

The underserved corner between UptimeRobot and Better Stack

Two ends of the uptime-monitoring market — one too dated, one too expensive. The middle is where most indie SaaS founders actually live.

06FAQ

Honest answers.

Does it work in a GitHub README?
Yes. The Badge is an SVG image — drops anywhere a <img> tag is allowed: GitHub READMEs, marketing pages with strict CSPs, email signatures.
How fast is downtime detection?
At the Pro 1-minute interval, an open Incident is detected within ~2 minutes. We wait for two consecutive failed checks to avoid alert noise.
How is this different from UptimeRobot or Better Stack?
Cheaper than Better Stack ($25+/mo entry); much more polished than UptimeRobot. The wedge: status widgets you'd actually show off.
Can I customize the Badge?
Themes, dark/light mode, size variants. Custom accent colors and logos land on Business in v1.1.
Do you have a hosted status page like status.acme.com?
Coming in v1.5 — Pro subdomain, Business custom domain.
