Hey Product Hunt 👋 This is Richard with Coast Creative. We build and host a lot of client websites on Vercel, and FATHER started as a tool just for us. Keeping an eye on those websites meant a lot of tabs: Vercel for deploys and traffic, Search Console and Bing for indexing, PageSpeed for speed, and reminders for SSL certificates and domain renewals. We wanted one window that watches all of it and speaks up when something breaks, so a client is never the first to tell us their website is down. What FATHER does: • Every website on one screen, with traffic, trends, and deploy status live from Vercel • Click any website to see its traffic, visitor map, top pages, and referrers • Search Console and Bing data for clicks, rankings, and indexing • PageSpeed scores, uptime checks, and countdowns before SSL certificates or domains expire • When a build fails, the menu-bar F turns red and a notification fires, even with the window closed How it changed along the way: • It started as a simple Vercel traffic viewer called MOTHER, with a retro terminal look. • Vercel became one module instead of the whole app. Search, speed, SSL, and GitHub modules followed. You can turn off any of them, and the dashboard only shows what you use. Websites hosted somewhere else can be added by URL. • It had to handle far more than a handful of websites, so the list sorts by traffic or trouble, filters as you type, and pins your favorites. • We keep it in a tall, narrow window on the side of a big monitor, so the layout reflows to fit any window shape. • The retro look grew into 15 themes, including macOS glass and Classic Mac. The app was renamed FATHER when it joined a suite of four Mac apps. FATHER is local-first. Your API tokens and data stay on your Mac, and nothing is sent to us. It's a one-time purchase of $7.99 and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. One heads-up: traffic numbers need Vercel Web Analytics turned on for each project. We'd love your feedback. What should FATHER watch next? We'll be around all day to answer questions.
