I’ve been building an uptime monitor service for a while now, something that is genuinely reliable and only alerts you when something is actually going on. Also comes with very pretty status pages!

Free tier is enough for most users, paid tier just exists to gate the stuff that is expensive to run like SMS alerts.

Check it out at [Larm](https://larm.dev) and try out the [response time checker too](https://larm.dev/tools/response-time) to try out the Larm probe infrastructure.

https://larm.dev, an uptime monitoring service with a focus on reliability and reduction in false positives. I’ve been building it for myself really but I figure it’s worth sharing it with people in case someone else finds it useful too.

It’s also a lot of fun to work on. Phoenix LiveView dashboard, go probes running on 4 continents, connected to the backend using websocket tunnels. Clickhouse for reporting. Even did a CLI and an MCP for fun.

You can take the probes for a spin with the free response time checking tool and see how fast your site is https://larm.dev/tools/response-time

It's not, but I can see how it came across like that. I just wrote up my experience moving over, and I thought it was nice they had an affiliate link. I've cleaned it up and called out the affiliate link. Nothing shady intended.

Sorry, I realize I overdid it on the affiliate links so I've called out the link and removed some others. Just thought it was nice that they had an affiliate program. Nothing shady intended!
