About
OpenStatus is a refreshingly simple status page and uptime monitor. And it's open source, so you can also host it yourself. The hosted free tier (no credit card) includes one monitor with 10-minute checks and one status page with three components. Perfect for a side project or small site that just needs a public 'we're up' page.
