A Healthchecks.io alternative built for agents and no-code automations

What both do

Both are heartbeat monitors: you tell the service when to expect a check-in, the job pings a URL when it runs, and you're alerted when a check-in is missing. Both support cron expressions, grace periods and start/fail signals.

Where Did It Run? is different

• Built around outcomes, not just pings. Every check-in can carry an item count and output text. Set a minimum item count, a minimum size, or a required keyword, and runs that succeed with nothing in them raise an empty alert.
• Plain-English schedules. "Every weekday by 9:15am" in your timezone, with a grace window — or a cron expression if you prefer.
• Recipes for where agents actually run. Copy-paste setups for ChatGPT scheduled tasks (relaying the notification email to a ping URL), Claude Code, n8n, Zapier (Webhooks step), Make, GitHub Actions and cron.
• The morning roll-call. One digest across every platform: ✅ what ran, ❌ what's missing, ⚠️ what came back empty.
• Client folders on Pro, for automation agencies watching many clients' workflows.

Where Healthchecks.io may be the better fit

• You need a large free tier (Healthchecks.io's free plan covers 20 jobs) or many more checks per dollar.
• You want open-source software you can self-host.
• You need integrations we don't offer yet (we support email, Slack, Discord and Telegram).
