Pulzor
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pulzor keeps your websites, servers and APIs in view from your iPhone. Get alerted when something fails, see what's happening and take action with the tools you need to keep your services running. No accounts, no external monitoring servers and no computer required. Your data stays on your device and in your personal iCloud. MONITOR WHAT MATTERS Watch websites, endpoints, TCP ports, services and databases. Check uptime and response times, validate content and follow each service over time. Smart retries and connectivity checks help reduce false alarms. For MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Redis, go beyond an open port with protocol-aware checks. Group monitors by client or project, arrange your dashboard and explore metrics, history, activity heatmaps and website previews. UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING Track uptime, latency, trends and infrastructure changes. Pulzor Score brings your service health into focus, while the planner helps you prioritize upcoming renewals and resource forecasts. Spot performance regressions after deployments, identify cold starts and forecast resource usage from your SSH tasks. Check provider status to help tell an upstream outage from a problem in your own services. TAKE ACTION FROM YOUR IPHONE Open an SSH session to inspect logs, run commands, restart services or manage your servers. Choose from 180 preset commands for 18 operating systems and 16 control panels, or write your own. Schedule tasks, watch cron jobs and set up Auto-Recovery with command sequences, retries and limits. Review execution history and export encrypted profiles. ALERTS THAT MATTER Set up downtime, degradation and recovery alerts. Acknowledge or mute incidents, configure escalation and follow the timeline as events unfold. Capture diagnostics when an incident starts, so you can review the evidence later. Send notifications through 17 webhook destinations and schedule maintenance windows to keep planned work quiet. Guard Mode, notification actions and Live Activities help you stay on top of your services without keeping the app open. Run an alert drill and catch up with a weekly digest. DNS, SSL AND DOMAINS UNDER CONTROL Check certificates and domains before they expire, inspect 10 DNS record types and track changes. Review SPF, DKIM and DMARC to understand your domain's email authentication setup. Sentinel watches your websites for changes to page structure, scripts, forms and third-party content, with visual comparisons to help you see what's different. REAL API MONITORING Configure HTTP methods, authentication, headers and request bodies. Validate responses, chain requests and check multistep journeys. With pulzorAlert, turn data from your API into alerts even when the service is still available. Templates cover everyday services and AI providers. BEYOND THE PUBLIC INTERNET Keep an eye on your homelab, internal networks and private servers. Discover local services and connect through the built-in VPN without exposing ports to the Internet. REPORTS YOU CAN SHARE Create PDF and CSV reports for a monitor, group or your entire portfolio. Add your branding, compare availability with SLA targets and document incidents. Import monitors from eight supported platforms and share configurations without credentials, ready for a colleague to use. ACROSS THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, widgets, Live Activities and Siri Shortcuts. Check and control monitors from your wrist, work on iPad with keyboard shortcuts and an external display, and sync your data through iCloud. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No tracking. No third-party SDKs. Credentials protected in Apple Keychain and encrypted backups. Start free with one monitor and manual checks. Automation, alerts and other features require the appropriate plan. iOS determines background check frequency based on system conditions, battery life and usage.

Know the moment it stops answering. Last Seen Up watches your servers, sites, queues and cron jobs, and wakes you when something stops responding. Checks run on our servers around the clock, so the alert reaches you whether or not your phone is awake. ONE GLANCE, ONE ANSWER Open the app and the dashboard tells you in a single line whether everything is fine. When something is down, the dashboard becomes the incident: how long it has been down, what failed, a countdown to the next escalation step, and Acknowledge right there. Thirty days of history and upcoming renewals sit underneath. ADD ANYTHING BY PASTING IT Paste a website, an IP address or a host and port, and Last Seen Up works out what kind of check it needs and tests it while you type. A website is one monitor, not three: we check that it answers and keep an eye on its SSL certificate and domain registration, so the renewal you forgot is a reminder weeks out instead of an outage on a Saturday. CATCH THE JOBS THAT DIDN'T RUN A cron job that stops running fails silently. Give it a heartbeat URL to call when it finishes, and if the call never comes we tell you. The alert shows the last several runs at a glance, so a job that has been failing every other night for a week looks different from one that broke tonight. WILL IT ACTUALLY WAKE YOU? "Can we wake you?" checks whether this iPhone will really ring at 3am, and opens the right setting to fix anything that would stop it. Send yourself a test alert, or have us call you, to be sure. ALERTS BUILT FOR 3AM Alerts arrive as Time Sensitive notifications, so they break through a Focus. Long-press one to see how long it has been down and what failed, then acknowledge or snooze without opening the app. If nobody answers, escalation moves to the next person on your list, and the last step can be an actual phone call to a number you have verified. Quiet hours and do not disturb keep the rest of the night yours. ANYONE CAN SAY "I'M ON IT" Acknowledge from any iPhone you are signed in on, even when the alert went to a teammate. Everyone sees who has it, and escalation stops. WATCH IT UNFOLD An open incident puts a live counter on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, showing who is on it and what happens next, then ends with how long the outage lasted. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep your worst monitor in view. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app carries the full roster. Acknowledge an incident or run a check with your phone in another room, and put your fleet's state on the watch face with complications. YOUR TEAM, FROM YOUR PHONE Invite teammates, switch workspaces, and set how often new monitors are checked, how many failures it takes to alert, and which alert policy they follow. BUILT NOT TO LIE TO YOU If the app cannot reach our servers it says so plainly rather than showing you a reassuring green screen. Status is never colour alone, so it reads correctly on a watch face, in sunlight, and with VoiceOver. FREE TO START Three monitors and everything above, free, with no trial and no card. Pro raises the account to 50 monitors and lets you bring up to 10 people onto the team, each seeing only the monitors you assign them. - iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch - Sign in with Apple, Google, a passkey, or an emailed code - Full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support Add the first one in about thirty seconds.
