WatchDog gives a solo founder what a DevOps team would: alert channels that route to your inbox or personal Slack, a public status page to link from your docs, recovery notifications when things flip back to green, and scheduled maintenance windows so an upgrade doesn't look like an incident. No PagerDuty, no on-call rotation, no team to wake up. Pro from $19/month.
Email, Slack, and webhooks routed to your inbox or your personal Slack workspace. No PagerDuty account, no rotating schedule, no escalation policy — just the alert that lets you fix it before someone @s you on Twitter.
Link /status/<slug> from your docs and marketing site. Your customers see live uptime instead of filing "is it down?" support tickets — and you stop sending the same "we're looking into it" reply three times a week.
The flip-back-to-green alert. Tell you to stop watching the dashboard the moment your endpoint recovers — so a 4-minute blip stays a 4-minute blip, not a 90-minute staring-at-the-tab session.
Pre-announce planned downtime to subscribers before pushing the upgrade. A scheduled Postgres migration or library bump posts a "scheduled maintenance" notice to your status page instead of looking like an incident at 2am.
Yes. WatchDog routes alerts straight to your inbox, your personal Slack, and your webhook URL — no PagerDuty account, no rotating schedule, no escalation policy to design. You get the alert on a channel you already check. If you're solo, that's the entire on-call rotation.
Yes. Every workspace gets a /status/
Schedule a window before pushing an upgrade, a Postgres migration, or a library bump that needs downtime. WatchDog posts a "scheduled maintenance" notice on your status page so subscribers aren't surprised, suppresses alerts on monitors inside the window, and resumes checks automatically when the window closes. Your status page shows the planned window — not a 2am incident.
Email and Slack are wired by default; webhooks let you push to a Telegram bot, an SMS bridge, or a tiny Node script that calls your phone. Pick the channel you'll actually answer. No "we tried Slack but the notification was silenced" — WatchDog repeats until acknowledged, with built-in dedupe so two checks don't page you twice.
