Know the instant something stops working.
Before your customers do.
HomingPigeon keeps an eye on the computers, servers, websites, and network gear your business runs on, and tells you the moment one has a problem, so you can fix it before anyone else notices.
Runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS · set up in under a minute · no credit card required.
Everything in one place
Every machine, website, and scheduled job your team depends on, in a single dashboard, so you always know what's healthy and what isn't.
Told the moment it breaks
A server goes offline, a disk fills up, a website stops loading, last night's backup didn't run, you get a message on your phone, not a surprise from a customer.
Works even behind firewalls
It keeps reporting from inside client networks and locked-down sites where other tools simply go dark, no special firewall changes required.
What HomingPigeon watches
Four ways to keep an eye on things, all from the same dashboard.
Computers & servers
A tiny program keeps watch on any machine and reports whether it's online and healthy, memory, disk space, uptime, and the specific apps and services you tell it to care about.
Websites & online services
Checks your site or web app on a schedule and confirms it's actually working, not just returning a page, but showing the right content, with a warning before the security certificate expires.
Scripts & scheduled jobs
Did the nightly backup or sync actually run? Add one line to a job and HomingPigeon turns silence itself into an alert, no software to install.
Network devices & other hosts
Watch a VPN, a NAS, a printer, anything you can't install software on. A nearby machine checks it for you and reports whether it's reachable.
Know what's happening on your machines
Not just "is it up?", but who's logging in, when it restarts, and whether it moved.
Sign-in alerts
Get told when someone logs into a server over SSH, with the username and where they connected from. Name your offices as "known locations" so a login from HQ stays quiet and one from an unknown address stands out. Repeated failed attempts raise a break-in warning.
Reboots, explained
When a machine restarts, HomingPigeon tells you, and automatically grabs the logs from just before it went down, so you see why (a crash, a memory problem, a scheduled update) instead of just that it happened.
It moved networks
If a device's public address changes, it switched ISPs, failed over, or turned up somewhere unexpected, you'll know, labelled with the location if it's one you recognize.
All of this is off by default and turned on per machine, and we publish exactly what the agent reads.
Alerts that actually reach you
The right person, on the right channel, without the 3 a.m. noise.
Email, text, Slack & push
Delivered however your team already works. Route different alerts to different people, and mute the noise with quiet hours and daily digests.
Acknowledge & follow up
Mark an alert as "I've got this" so it stops nagging, or set a reminder to page you again if it isn't fixed in time.
Fix it from the dashboard
Run a quick health check or restart a service without leaving the app. Anything risky needs a fresh security code first, and machines you set to "watch only" can't be touched at all.
It finds its way home from anywhere
The hard part of monitoring machines you don't own the network for, solved.
Most monitoring tools go quiet the moment a client's firewall blocks their one connection method, and a silent tool looks exactly like a healthy one. HomingPigeon tries a whole ladder of paths until one gets through, so a locked-down network can't turn your monitoring into a blind spot. It never hammers the firewall doing it.
If the normal web path is blocked, the agent quietly falls through to the next one, right down to DNS or a ping, until its "I'm alive" message gets home.
Secure by design
Because you're putting it on machines that matter.
Pinned, tamper-proof connection
Agents trust only a key we control, so even a corporate firewall that inspects traffic can't impersonate us or read what's sent. The master key stays offline.
MFA & least privilege
Two-factor sign-in, a fresh step-up before anything destructive, a full audit trail, and "watch only" machines that are structurally incapable of running commands.
Team-ready & private
Invite teammates and scope admins. Every organization's data is strictly walled off from every other.
Built for MSPs and small IT teams
Answer the questions your clients actually ask, all from one dashboard.
A pigeon on any office machine checks in over whatever path the firewall allows. You're paged the moment it goes dark.
An HTTP monitor loads the URL on a schedule and confirms the status code and a keyword you choose.
Keyword checks confirm the storefront actually renders, not just returns a 200, so you catch a broken checkout before customers do.
A dead-man's-switch curl in the backup script, miss a run and you're paged, instead of finding out days later.
A nearby agent relays a ping or TCP check to a host you can't install on.
Bracket any cron job with problem and recovered curls to get a named alert with the exact failure message.
