We build for Developers.

Cronitor builds powerful monitoring tools for busy software developers. We'll alert you fast when something goes wrong, with the context you need to solve the problem.

Where we are today

With 5 different monitoring tools in one, Cronitor has helped over 70,000 developers and thousands of paying customers improve the reliability and performance of their software. From cron jobs to core web vitals, Cronitor has you covered:

1. Cron job monitoring
2. Website and API monitoring (synthetics)
3. Heartbeat monitoring
4. Analytics for developers (rum)
5. Hosted status pages

Empowering software developers is the foundation of our business, and we're grateful for the opportunity to craft software that makes your life a little easier.

Our story, so far

Cronitor started in March 2014 with a text message. August, the founding engineer at a logistics startup, was responsible for several important cron jobs, and his wife (also a developer and founder) had just had a painful experience with a database backup that had been silently failing for months.

August texted Shane with a simple question: how do you monitor your cron jobs at work?

It turns out that despite being a 3 billion dollar company they weren't monitoring their cron jobs either. We compared notes, looked around at the available options, and decided we'd build a service to do this ourselves, and maybe help a few other developers along the way.

In June 2014 Cronitor launched with a post on Hacker News, and by 2016 our little project had started getting some traction and we realized we might be able to help more than just a few developers.

With the love and support of the developer community we've been able to grow independently without sacrificing our principles or taking outside investment. Ten years later, we continue to listen to our customers and reinvest in our platform, including:

1. 2016 - Uptime Monitoring
2. 2019 - Browser-based synthetic monitoring
3. 2020 - Cronitor for Kubernetes
4. 2022 - Status Pages
5. 2023 - Website Analytics and Real User Monitoring

We're still as passionate as ever about creating tools that we use ourselves every day, and we hope that shines through in our work.

Cheers,
August and Shane, Founders
