Ping Light: Website Monitor

Know whether your websites and APIs respond as expected—right from your Mac's menu bar. Ping Light is a lightweight HTTP(S) endpoint monitor for developers, independent founders and operators.

ADD A URL. DEFINE HEALTHY. SEE THE RESULT. Choose GET, HEAD or POST, an expected status code and a timeout. Run a check immediately or choose a recurring interval. One focused popover shows which endpoints are healthy and which need attention.

- Failure and recovery notifications, with controls for sound and repeat alerts. - Recent response codes, timing and local uptime history to investigate a problem. - Basic or Bearer authentication stored in macOS Keychain. - Pause monitoring, check all endpoints, or reach the popover with your shortcut. - JSON import and export for configuration; Keychain passwords and tokens are excluded. - Optional launch at login and native light and dark appearance.

One-time purchase. No Ping Light account, subscription, advertising or analytics SDK. Requests go directly from your Mac to the endpoints you configure; RainDigit does not receive your endpoint configuration or check history.

MONITORING RUNS ON YOUR MAC Ping Light checks while the app is running and your Mac is awake. It is not a cloud monitor or a guarantee of 24/7 coverage. It resumes checks after wake; an internet outage or denied local-network access can affect results. Notifications require macOS permission.

For safe export, remember that URL query parameters and POST bodies can still contain sensitive information. Re-enter credentials after importing configuration.

Requires macOS 13 or later. Support and privacy: stekolshchykov.github.io/dochub/products/ping-light/
