Small surface. Strong signal.<br>Everything needed to catch missing and failed jobs, without an entire incident-management suite.<br>01Flexible schedules<br>Expect a ping every minute, hour, day, week, or month, with the grace period your job actually needs.

02Email verification<br>Register without passwords. Every account is verified by email and every monitor stays isolated to its owner.

03Failure and recovery<br>Receive an email when a heartbeat is missed or explicitly fails, then another when it recovers.

One request after every job.<br>Use the secret ping URL from any language, scheduler, server, or Cloudflare Worker. Report success, failure, or the process exit code.<br>Explore the Ping API<br>backup.sh<br>output=$(./backup.sh 2>&1)

# Reports success or the actual exit code<br>curl -d "$output" \<br>https://heartbeats.dorianmarie.com/ping/SECRET/$?

Your first heartbeat takes a minute.<br>Verify your email, choose a schedule, and copy the URL.
