Canary lives in your menu bar and watches your websites, APIs, and services around the clock. Beautiful dashboards. Instant alerts. Zero config servers.
Requires macOS 13 Ventura or later. Free tier available.
Canary gives you reliable, real-time uptime monitoring without the complexity of cloud platforms. It runs quietly in your menu bar.
Monitor any endpoint with GET, HEAD, or POST requests. Track status codes and response bodies to ensure your services are truly healthy.
Choose from 30s, 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, or 1h check intervals per monitor. Fast checks for production, relaxed checks for everything else.
See 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day uptime percentages alongside a 24-hour response time chart. Favicons are fetched automatically for each site.
Get notified after 2 consecutive failures, and again when a service recovers. Includes slow response and SSL expiry warnings. The menu bar icon turns red so you never miss it.
Know before your certificates expire. Canary tracks SSL expiry dates and warns you with configurable advance notice so you're never caught off guard.
Go beyond HTTP. Monitor databases, mail servers, Redis, and any TCP service by port. If a port goes silent, you'll know immediately.
