Upwatch on Web Browser
Runs in any modern browser — nothing to install, works the same on any machine you log in from.
Setup on Web Browser
Download the installer
Download the latest Upwatch installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/uptime-monitor-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Upwatch runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Upwatch is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Upwatch on Web Browser — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/uptime-monitor-mvp, always. The paid version is pure convenience: packaged installer, updates, priority support.
Do I need a server?
Not necessarily. Desktop mode runs the whole app in an Electron window. For a public status page or 24/7 monitoring you'll want a $5 VPS — which is still cheaper per year than one month of most competitors' higher tiers.
