Wakeful
Know when your cron jobs, SSL certs, and DNS break
Wakeful watches cron jobs, SSL certs, DNS records, and HTTP endpoints, and alerts you the moment something breaks. Most tools either only do HTTP pings, or bundle in status pages and incident management at a price that doesn't fit a solo dev's side project. Wakeful keeps it simple: cron heartbeat pings, SSL expiry alerts, DNS change detection, and HTTP checks. Alerts via email, Discord, Telegram, or webhook. Free tier: 3 monitors, 5-min checks, no card required.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 A few months ago a nightly backup job of mine silently failed for about a week before I noticed. A couple weeks later, an SSL cert expired over a weekend and I only found out because a friend messaged me. Both times the actual fix took five minutes — the problem was I had no idea anything was wrong. I looked at existing monitoring tools and most either only do HTTP pings, or bundle in a ton of stuff (status pages, synthetic tests, incident management) at a price that didn't make sense for my side projects. So I built Wakeful: it watches cron jobs, SSL certs, DNS records, and HTTP endpoints, and tells you the moment something breaks — nothing more, nothing less. Free tier is 3 monitors, no card required. Would love feedback, especially on what monitor types or alert channels you'd want next.
