Precision telemetry to identify bottlenecks and system failures before they impact your users.
Define how often your job should check in (e.g., every 10 minutes).
Fire a simple HTTP request from your cron job or background worker.
If we stop receiving pings, we notify you via email instantly.
Powerbar.io features a robust dead man's switch mechanism. By sending simple, periodic heartbeats to our endpoints, we ensure your cron jobs, background workers, and critical scripts are running as expected. If we don't hear from you, we notify you instantly— so you can catch failures that traditional uptime monitors miss.

No. Powerbar.io sends exclusively transactional system alerts and account security notifications.
Our monitor detects the missing heartbeat within your configured grace period and alerts you immediately.
We use a simple REST API. You can trigger a heartbeat with a single cURL command, a simple cron wrapper, or via our lightweight SDKs.
The grace period allows for slight network latency or minor cron execution delays. You can adjust this for each monitor to avoid false positives.
We are currently focused on individual and solo-founder workflows. Team-based workspaces and multi-user management are currently on our roadmap for future updates.
