exit1.dev
exit1.dev is a cloud-based uptime monitoring platform that checks the availability of websites and services from multiple global locations. It offers sub-minute monitoring intervals (as fast as every 15 seconds) across HTTP, TCP, UDP, WebSocket, and ICMP protocols, with checks running from both US and EU regions to isolate regional issues. The platform provides a real-time streaming dashboard where users can watch probe results land instantly, alongside detailed logging and domain intelligence including SSL certificate expiry, WHOIS records, and DNS lookups. Users can create custom status pages via a drag-and-drop builder, complete with uptime history and custom domains, to communicate service status to customers. Alerts are dispatched through SMS, email, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, and webhooks, with built-in integrations for PagerDuty and Opsgenie. Flap detection filters out transient noise to reduce false positives. exit1.dev also offers an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, enabling AI assistants like Claude or Cursor to query monitoring data directly. The service is free to start with no credit card required, making it accessible for personal projects and startups. It is built by Mopra and maintained as an open-source project on GitHub, with a small community and public uptime tracking pages for popular third-party services.
