FEWS β€” FALL Early Warning System See in one place whether the cloud services you depend on are up. Free, no ads, no account, no data collection. Built by an engineer, for engineers. Thirty-one providers across cloud, observability, devtools, CDN, AI, payments, data, auth, and communication β€” including the big three clouds with per-region filtering, version control, container registries, AI APIs, edge networks, and the infrastructure your stack depends on every day. Add your own status pages too β€” any Statuspage.io v2 endpoint works. WHAT FEWS DOES β€’ One screen with the live status of every service you selected β€’ Per-region filtering for AWS, GCP, and Azure β€” a Mumbai-only outage stops bubbling up as a service-wide red if you only run in us-east-1 β€’ Add your own services from Settings β€” any Statuspage.io v2 endpoint, validated live before it lands β€’ Drill into each service for active and recent incidents with the full timeline β€’ Drag-to-reorder the dashboard β€’ 24-hour uptime sparkline with computed operational and degraded durations β€’ A local history of state changes β€” see what was down while you were not looking β€’ Home screen and lock screen widgets so you can glance without unlocking β€’ Opportunistic local notifications when iOS lets us refresh in the background WHAT FEWS DOES NOT DO β€’ Polling in iOS background is unreliable by design β€” Apple decides when and whether to run it. FEWS is honest about that. For guaranteed current status, open the app. β€’ No account. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. No backend. Now and forever. Made by FALL Engenharia. Proprietary software, distributed free under Apple's standard EULA. FEWS is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any monitored service.

About

Digger DNS lookup

Features
Read full description

Digger is a DNS lookup tool for iPhone. Enter a name, pick a record type, and inspect the full current Resultβ€”without uploading your queries. It talks DNS directly. It does not run the dig command. Switch between a structured view and generated dig-style text, then copy or share the view you are looking at. Query A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, PTR, SRV, CAA, HTTPS, and SVCB. Use the system resolver or a custom server. Choose automatic, UDP, or TCP. EDNS is on by default; the DO bit is optional. Cancel a Query in flight. Results include the response code, flags, all four sections, timing, and wire size. NXDOMAIN and SERVFAIL are DNS Results, not crashes. Digger does not validate DNSSEC. Privacy: Query data is not uploaded. Results are discarded when you leave them. Recent Queries stay on this device as name + type only. Clear History anytime in Settings. Digger is not a VPN or device-wide DNS changer. No DoH, DoT, or zone transfers.
