I run a few small services (APIs, bots and web apps) and I kept running into the same problem:

Most uptime monitoring tools are either

too expensive

too complex

or built for enterprise teams

All I really wanted was:

check if a URL is alive

know when it goes down

get notified when it recovers

see response time over time

So I ended up building a tiny tool for myself that does exactly that.

It monitors websites and APIs 24/7 and sends alerts via email, WhatsApp and webhooks.

I’m curious how others here handle this: What are you using today to monitor uptime for small or personal projects?

I would like real feedback about the website.

I created this tool, UpDown is a simple tool to check if a website is accessible. No accounts, no tracking, just the status. It's hosted on Fly.io to ensure speed.

I would like feedback on:

The simplicity of the user interface – is it too minimalist?
