## What is PingOps?

PingOps is a fast, no-fuss uptime monitor that lives on your iPhone. Add any public URL — your website, your team's API, the AI service your tools depend on — and PingOps tells you the moment it stops working. Run checks on-device, or opt into Cloud monitoring so checks keep running while your phone sleeps.

WHY MOBILE UPTIME MATTERS
Your day runs on a stack of remote services: AI assistants, cloud dashboards, the apps your team ships. When one goes down at 2am or in the middle of a meeting, you don't always have a laptop in front of you. PingOps gives you a glance from the phone in your pocket.

WHO IT'S FOR
• Site owners who want to know the moment their blog or business goes down
• Engineers running a small API who don't need an enterprise monitoring stack
• AI-tool users who want to spot service outages before fighting "weird errors"
• Anyone who'd rather glance at a phone than open a dashboard

TWO WAYS TO RUN CHECKS

On-device (default, no account needed)
• Manual and automatic checks while the app is open
• No account, no telemetry, no data leaves your device

Cloud monitoring (sign in with Apple)
• Server-side checks run on a tier-appropriate schedule (Free 5 min, Pro & Archon 1 min) — every day, even when your phone is closed
• Push alerts when an endpoint fails — aggregate by default, per-endpoint on Pro/Archon, with a 15-minute reminder while it stays down
• Lock Screen Live Activity for the active incident — Snooze 10m, Snooze 1h, or Open straight into the failure timeline
• History syncs back to the device — full local archive
• Sign in with Apple — no password, no email harvesting

WHAT IT DOES
• Monitors any HTTP/HTTPS endpoint (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD)
• Validates status codes, response keywords, and JSON fields — not just "did the socket open"
• Groups your endpoints with optional SLO targets
• Live Activity on the Lock Screen for active incidents — snooze without unlocking
• Drag-and-drop reordering between groups
• Deep-link sharing (pingops://) so a teammate can import with one tap
• Quiet by default — one rolling notification with a count, never per-endpoint spam

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
The on-device checker stores everything locally — no account, no telemetry. Cloud monitoring is strictly opt-in: only endpoints you flip into Cloud mode reach our Cloudflare Workers proxy, request bodies and custom headers are encrypted per-user, and aggregate alerts contain only a count — never endpoint names or URLs.

LIMITATIONS WORTH KNOWING
On-device checks only run while the app is open — iOS doesn't let third-party apps poll endpoints continuously in the background. Cloud monitoring fixes that gap on your tier's cadence. PingOps is for quick, glanceable answers — not enterprise-grade synthetic monitoring.

Some bot-defended hosts (Google, Cloudflare-protected sites, Akamai-protected sites) reject automated traffic from cloud IPs. If you're monitoring one, point PingOps at a /health or /status endpoint — the app surfaces a tailored failure reason when this happens.

PRICING
Free download, unlimited on-device monitoring. Cloud is free for 2 endpoints at 5-min intervals.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.8.0 — 2026-09-14

v3.8 — A reliability release. Two independent reviews walked every screen and every backend path and fixed 200+ issues, from one-line polish to silent data bugs.

FIXED WHAT WAS BROKEN
• The SLO settings screen can be opened again, and the weekly SLO digest is delivered on schedule.
• The dashboard no longer flags a healthy fleet as "needs attention" when endpoints are merely slow, and the tab badge now matches what you see.
• Cloud history no longer develops gaps after a sync, and every check shows where it ran from.
• Saving an endpoint to the cloud tells you when the mirror fails instead of leaving a phantom row, and duplicating a cloud endpoint now mirrors the copy.
• Deleting an endpoint asks first, ends its lock-screen Live Activity, and no longer leaves a stale card behind.

SECURITY AND PRIVACY
• Time-sensitive failure alerts now truly break through Focus.
• Shared endpoints redact tokens in URLs as well as headers, and copies of unredacted credentials expire from the clipboard.
• Endpoints arriving via a pingops:// link are validated and confirmed before anything is added.
• Your cloud session is now bound to this device.

LOCALIZATION
• Hundreds of strings that were English-only now appear in 日本語, Español and Deutsch, including the lock-screen Live Activity.

CLOUD BACKEND
• Cloud checks send your configured headers and body, follow redirects safely, and stop alerting devices that no longer exist.
• Faster public status pages, honest subscription verification, and sign-in fixes for the upcoming Android client.

### 3.6.0 — 2026-06-12

v3.6 — Set a response-time budget per endpoint, catch "slow but still up" before it turns into an outage, and a faster, lighter cloud refresh.

PER-ENDPOINT TIMEOUTS
• Give each endpoint its own request timeout (1–60s) instead of the one-size-fits-all 15s. Tighten it for snappy APIs, loosen it for backends that are slow but fine.
• Works the same for local and cloud checks — cloud endpoints honor your timeout on the server too.

NEW "SLOW" WARNING
• Set a response-time threshold and PingOps flags an endpoint that's still up but slower than your budget — a yellow "Slow" badge instead of plain green.
• Softer than a failure: the endpoint is up, it's just over your latency budget. Catch creeping slowness before it becomes a real outage.
• History tags the exact checks that breached, so you can see when it started.

FASTER CLOUD REFRESH
• Cloud sync now pulls your whole fleet's history in a single request instead of one per endpoint — noticeably quicker and lighter, especially on large fleets.

What v3.5 shipped, still here:
• Pull-to-refresh is local only; cloud sync has its own button.
• Small fresh-install pulls — last hour on cold start, lazy 24h per endpoint on open.
• Actionable cloud-sync error banners + "Force resync from cloud".

What v3.3 shipped, still here:
• Public status pages (Pro & Archon) — never exposes endpoint URLs, headers, or bodies.
• Full localization to 日本語 / Español / Deutsch alongside English.

### 3.5.1 — 2026-05-28

v3.5.1 — Pull-to-refresh is local only. Cloud sync gets its own button. Fresh-install pulls are dramatically smaller.

PULL-TO-REFRESH IS LOCAL ONLY
• Drag down to recheck local endpoints — that's it. No more spinner sitting through a cloud round-trip on every pull.
• Cloud endpoints have a dedicated iCloud button in the dashboard toolbar. Tap it to sync server-side results on demand.
• Foreground polling + scene activation still keep the dashboard fresh in the background without you doing anything.

FRESH-INSTALL CLOUD SYNC IS WAY SMALLER
• First launch (or returning after a long absence) now pulls only the last hour of cloud check results — sub-second on a fleet that used to download tens of thousands of rows on cold start.
• Opening any endpoint detail view lazy-loads the last 24h for that one endpoint — sparkline + uptime band light up immediately on first open.

CLOUD SYNC ERRORS NO LONGER SILENT
• Cloud-side endpoints that fail to land in your dashboard now surface an actionable error banner instead of disappearing without trace.
• New "Force resync from cloud" option in Cloud Settings — clears every cloud endpoint's sync cursor and re-pulls. Use it if a reinstall left the dashboard missing endpoints that exist on another device.

What v3.5 shipped, still here:
• Background catch-up + atomic refresh during long cloud sync.
• Absolute time labels (14:23 / May 24, 23:59) instead of stale "5 minutes ago".
• Memory-safe streaming writer path for multi-day offline catch-ups.

What v3.3 shipped, still here:
• Public status pages (Pro & Archon) — never exposes endpoint URLs, headers, or bodies.
• Full localization to 日本語 / Español / Deutsch alongside English.
• Bidirectional cloud sync with reinstall recovery.

### 3.5.0 — 2026-05-26

v3.5 — Background catch-up, atomic refresh, absolute time labels.

CLOUD CATCH-UP IS SMOOTH NOW
• Foreground after hours offline? The dashboard stays responsive while the catch-up downloads in the background, then snaps to the new state in one update at the end — no more "is it frozen?" pause while it syncs.
• Pull-to-refresh on a 30-endpoint fleet feels atomic: the whole list updates together instead of rippling row by row.
• The loading banner now stays pinned to the top of the dashboard while a long catch-up runs — you can scroll your endpoints and still see progress.

ABSOLUTE TIME LABELS
• Goodbye stale "5 minutes ago" — those snapshots never actually ticked, so they got stale the moment the row drew.
• Same day → local 24-hour time (e.g. 14:23). Older → date + time (e.g. May 24, 23:59). Always honest about WHEN something happened, in your device's timezone.

UNDER THE HOOD
• One SQLite save per cloud pull instead of one per endpoint — eliminates the multi-hang "MainActor frozen" feel during long catch-ups.
• Streaming, memory-safe cloud-pull writer path for the worst case (30-endpoint Archon, multi-day offline).
• Live Activity + notification body construction no longer fault entire endpoint histories — constant-time SQLite limit-1 fetches instead.

What v3.4 shipped, still here in v3.5:
• Dashboard responsiveness during cloud syncs (background-actor SwiftData writes, denormalised hot-path reads, predicate-based history pruning).
• Parallel pull-to-refresh fan-out (capped to 6 concurrent), 60-second server-cadence poll, smarter notification/Live Activity gating.
• Always-visible subscription plans, persistent history filter, orbital splash matching the icon.

What v3.3 shipped, still here:
• Public status pages (Pro & Archon) — never exposes endpoint URLs, headers, or bodies.
• Full localization to 日本語 / Español / Deutsch alongside English.
• Bidirectional cloud sync with reinstall recovery.

### 3.4.0 — 2026-05-25

v3.4 — performance overhaul + UX polish.

PERFORMANCE (the big one)
• Dashboard stays responsive while cloud history loads in the background — writes happen off the main thread via a dedicated background actor, so scroll, taps, and navigation keep working during a poll tick.
• Pull-to-refresh is snappy now. Local checks fan out in parallel (capped to 6 concurrent); cloud sync runs in the background and surfaces its own progress banner — the gesture spinner no longer waits on the slow path.
• Pro/Archon foreground polling now matches the 1-minute server cadence (was 30s) — half the work, same freshness.
• Notification + Live Activity evaluators only fire when something failure-relevant lands. Most polls land successful rows only and now skip the SLO walk entirely.
• Major reduction in main-thread work: denormalised endpoint state for the dashboard rows, predicate-based history pruning, and an in-actor session-token cache that stops thrashing the keychain.

UX
• Subscriptions screen always shows every plan — even Archon. Your current plan is tagged "Current"; upgrade options stay one tap away.
• History filter ("All" / "Failures only") persists across launches and navigation.
• New animated splash background — orbital glow that matches the app icon.
• Live Activity sparkline cleanup on endpoint delete (no orphan tail entries between recreates).

EARLIER IN THIS UPDATE (v3.3)
• Public status pages (Pro/Archon) — shareable read-only view of your cloud endpoints' uptime; URLs/headers/body never exposed.
• Full localization to 日本語 / Español / Deutsch on top of English, with a first-launch language picker and a Settings → Language row.
• Bidirectional cloud sync — cloud is the source of truth; cloud rows removed on another device flip back to Local locally (history preserved, never silently deleted).
• Reliability fixes: StoreKit → cloud tier sync the moment Pro/Archon is recognised, "Clear history" wipes cloud too, first cloud check fires within ~30s of endpoint create, SwiftData cold-launch crash fixed.
