HawkEye β€” free website & API monitoring. Would love your feedback!

The idea behind HawkEye is simple: website monitoring should be reliable, easy to set up, and accessible to everyone β€” not just companies with large infrastructure budgets.

HawkEye helps developers, startups, and agencies keep an eye on their websites and services with:

  • 🌐 Website and API uptime monitoring

  • πŸ”’ SSL certificate and domain expiration checks

  • 🚨 Outage alerts designed to reduce false alarms

  • πŸ“Š Uptime history, performance tracking, and reporting

  • πŸ€– Claude integration for AI-assisted monitoring

And there's a genuinely free plan. Not a 14-day trial, not a limited-time promotion. You can use HawkEye without paying or entering a credit card.

I'm particularly interested in making HawkEye useful for independent developers and small teams that need dependable monitoring without unnecessary complexity.


You can check it out here:


I'd really appreciate your thoughts on a few things:

  1. What monitoring tools are you currently using, and what frustrates you about them?

  2. What would convince you to switch to a newer monitoring platform?

  3. If you try HawkEye, what's the first thing you'd change or improve?

I'm actively developing the platform, and feedback from other builders would be incredibly valuable.

Thanks for taking a look! πŸš€

I ended up building most of mine. The usage of every API I depend on is watched all the time, and when it crosses a threshold the alert comes straight to my phone. Errors from production go to a self-hosted GlitchTip. What would make me switch is trust in the alerts, so I'd put your false alarm numbers right on the front page.
