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.
"tokens stay on your Mac" is a good default for a solo dev, but for an agency it raises a question: if a client's down-alert only fires on the one machine that has the app open, what happens when that laptop is asleep or the person who set it up is on vacation? is there any way to have alerts go to a shared channel instead of being tied to one person's local app?
The red menu-bar alert when a build fails is a small detail but I can see it being really useful when you have several sites to keep an eye on.
Can FATHER monitor projects from multiple Vercel accounts or is it limit to one account?
I like the idea of a lightweight Mac dashboard instead of constantly checking several different services. The one time purchase is also a nice change from another monthly subscription.
Having traffic, deploys, uptime, SEO and domain renewals together in one dashboard sounds really convenient. The menu bar alerts are aspecially useful for catching issues quickly.
This seems pretty useful for hosting sites of different clients or own multiple products. I'll take a look.
Congrats on the launch and good luck!
I'm about to launch a product on Vercel and may need something like this real soon!
This would be handy for client sites. Funding out something broke because the client tells you is never a good feeling.
