StillOnline
StillOnline is a hosted uptime monitoring and status page service designed specifically for indie SaaS and small teams. It allows users to monitor the uptime of their web services by scheduling HTTP checks on specified URLs. The platform provides a public or private status page at a custom slug (e.g., /s/{slug}) that displays real-time operational status. Users can manage incidents directly and receive alerts via Telegram, Slack, or email when a service goes down. The service is fully hosted, requiring no self-hosting or complex setup, and can be operational in under 60 seconds. Beyond basic monitoring, StillOnline offers tiers with increasing features: the Free plan includes monitoring for 1 URL at 5-minute intervals, while the Pro ($9/mo) and Enterprise ($29/mo) plans add more URLs, private status pages, REST API access, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration for AI agents. The MCP server allows AI agents to query the status of services programmatically, making it suitable for teams that incorporate AI into their workflows. The platform also includes incident management, allowing teams to log and communicate issues to stakeholders. StillOnline is built with simplicity in mind, targeting solo founders, indie developers, and micro-SaaS teams who need essential monitoring without the overhead of heavy observability stacks. It eliminates the need for self-hosting or patching together multiple tools, providing a centralized view of service health. The status pages are customizable and can be shared with customers or kept internal. Key technical features include HTTP-based uptime checks, configurable check intervals, multiple alert channels, a REST API for programmatic access, and the MCP server for AI-driven status retrieval. The platform is listed on various SaaS directories and MCP catalogs, reflecting its niche appeal to the indie hacker and AI communities.

Problem solved
Indie SaaS founders and small teams often need a simple way to monitor their product's uptime without dealing with complex observability tools or self-hosted solutions. They need to know when their services go down, communicate incidents to users, and maintain a status page, all without significant cost or setup effort. StillOnline solves this by providing an affordable, hosted uptime monitoring service that can be set up in less than a minute. It checks HTTP endpoints, displays live status on a customizable page, and sends alerts through common channels, giving teams the essential monitoring they need without extra complexity.
Use cases
- A solo founder monitors the uptime of their SaaS product's main URL and receives instant Telegram alerts when it becomes unreachable.
- A micro-SaaS team tracks the operational status of multiple services (REST API, web app, billing system) on a single public status page for their customers.
- An AI agent queries the stillonline MCP server to autonomously check the health of critical infrastructure before performing automated tasks.
- A team manages an incident by logging it through StillOnline, which automatically updates the status page and notifies subscribers.
- A developer uses the REST API to integrate uptime status into their internal dashboards or monitoring tools.
- A small business keeps an internal-only, private status page for their team to monitor backend services without exposing details to the public.
