CronSafe — Know immediately when your cron jobs stop running
Just launched today. Heartbeat monitoring for scheduled tasks.
One curl at the end of your cron job. If it stops running → instant alert. Escalating reminders at 1h, 6h, 24h until resolved.
What's different from Healthchecks.io and Cronitor:
- Overlap detection (job starts before previous finishes)
- Job output directly in your Slack alert
- Explicit fail pings (?status=fail)
- €9/mo unlimited — price locked forever
20 monitors free to start.

Your CronSafe heartbeat monitoring for cron jobs is a really clean, focused take on a painful but often overlooked problem — especially the “job silently fails” scenario that breaks production systems in the worst possible way.
The differentiators like overlap detection and output in Slack alerts are actually meaningful, not just feature padding, which is what makes this feel like a serious alternative in the Cronitor / Healthchecks space.
