Excellent for Alerting of internet Outages
We have been using this site for work related internet outages. It alerts me before our NOC.
Get live push alerts, real-time stats, and a glanceable home-screen widget, anytime, anywhere.
Get real-time alerts the moment a monitor goes down (or comes back up) so you can intervene before users feel the pain.
The home screen shows how many monitors are up, down, or paused, plus overall uptime and incident counts for the last 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Tap an incident to see which monitor went down and for how long.
Open any monitor to see its uptime for the last 7, 30, and 365 days, its recent incidents, and when its SSL certificate and domain expire. The response time chart shows average, minimum, and maximum times, and you can switch the region and time range to see when a slowdown started.
50 monitors free. No credit card required.
See how many of your monitors are up, down, or paused right on your phone's home screen, without opening the app.
Pick distinct tones for DOWN and UP.
Override Do Not Disturb so you never miss a major outage.
Receive push notifications for monitors shared with your team.
Top up without leaving the app.
Download the app, log in with your UptimeRobot account, and allow notifications when prompted. You’ll immediately see your monitors, recent alerts, and uptime stats. If you want the at-a-glance view, add the home screen widget after you’re signed in.
Most missed alerts come from OS settings: notifications disabled for the app, Focus/Do Not Disturb enabled, or battery/background restrictions (common on Android). Open your phone’s notification settings, allow alerts, and make sure UptimeRobot can run in the background. On iOS, “Critical-alert mode” can override Do Not Disturb if you enable it in the app and approve it in system settings.
Yes. You can add a monitor from your phone, change its URL, alert contacts, check interval, or location, and pause it during planned work. For bulk edits and advanced settings, the web dashboard is faster.
The widget shows how many of your monitors are up, down, or paused in real time. For incident details, response times, or a single monitor's history, just open the app.
Yes, every plan can use the app, including the free plan. You can register with an email address and set up 50 monitors with 5-minute checks, then manage alerts from your phone. If you upgrade later, the app continues to work with your existing monitors and settings.
Yes. In the app, pick one sound for DOWN alerts and another for UP alerts from the built-in list, so you can tell them apart from your other notifications. You can't upload your own sound files.
Keep an eye on notification permissions and background restrictions after OS updates, device migrations, or battery-saver changes. If you also rely on email alerts, use an address that won’t go down with the same connection you’re monitoring. For critical services, consider enabling stronger alert behavior (like critical alerts on iOS) so outages don’t get buried.
