Open source, self-hostable, with a modern UI that doesn't feel like 2010. Free tier includes 5 monitors forever. Pro starts at €9/mo for 50 monitors — that's 10x cheaper than Cronitor.

Cronguard is dead-simple cron monitoring for SRE-minded teams. One curl call at the end of your job, alerts in your inbox the moment it goes quiet. Built by SREs who got tired of either learning a fault-tolerance framework just to ping a healthcheck, or having every paged alert come from a different tool. If it can make an HTTP request, it can talk to Cronguard. There's no SDK to keep up to date and nothing to break when you swap stacks. # at the end of your cron job curl -fsS https://cronguard.app/p/db-bk-x9k2 200 OK · < 60ms typical Copy Pricing Simple.

But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
