Attempting to reconnect
All your sites. One glance. No cloud subscription.
A local-first uptime checker for small business owners with a handful of web properties. Targets live on your device. Checks run from your device. If your own internet is down, the app stays quiet — because a notification you can't trust is just noise.
Targets stay on your device. Zero data egress unless you opt into the hosted tier.
If your own connection is down, NetCheq doesn't claim your sites are. Quiet by design.
Free up to 3 targets. One-time unlock for unlimited. Hosted alerting available later if you outgrow on-device.
| NetCheq | Pingdom / UptimeRobot | |
|---|---|---|
| Checks run from | Your device | Their cloud |
| Target list | Local, on your device | Their account |
| Cost | Free, or pay once | Monthly subscription |
| Your data | Stays on device by default | Account-bound from day one |
| Setup | Add a URL, done | Account + billing + agent |
| Always-on alerts | Optional hosted add-on | Default (and required) |
Different tool for a different job: cloud monitors are built for ops teams who need 24/7 paging. NetCheq is for owners who just want "is anything broken?" answered at a glance.
Yes — up to 3 targets, on every platform, forever, no account. Need more? Local Pro is a one-time unlock (not a subscription) for unlimited targets, custom check intervals, status-code/keyword matchers, and watch complications.
Not on the free local app — checks run from your own device, so they pause when it sleeps. The optional hosted tier (coming later) runs the same checks 24/7 from netcheq.com and emails you when something breaks.
On your device. Your target list and check history never leave it unless you opt into the hosted tier. Even this website doesn't store your IP address — see the privacy policy.
Linux is available now (.deb, .rpm, AppImage). macOS, Windows, Android, iOS, Wear OS and watchOS are in store review / coming soon — see downloads.
They're great for ops teams that need cloud-run, 24/7 paging — and a monthly bill. NetCheq is built for owners who want their sites checked from their own devices, pay-once, with nothing to leave the device. Different job (see the comparison above).
