Use cases
Who Barkme is for, and the failures it catches before your customers do.
By team
A client site goes down and the client tells you
For freelancers and small agencies looking after 10 to 40 client sites. Barkme checks every site, alerts you in Slack when one goes down, warns you before certificates and domains expire, and gives each client a status page.
You run the product alone and nobody watches it at night
For solo founders with one product and nobody on call. Free monitoring with no card, Telegram alerts once the product makes money, and a daily domain check so you never lose the domain to a missed renewal.
The alert went to an inbox nobody checks
For teams of 5 to 15 people without a dedicated SRE. Alerts go to Slack, each incident opens a Linear issue or Trello card, and a signed webhook can send events to your own tools.
The SSL certificate expires and shoppers see a warning page
For owners of self-hosted WooCommerce, Magento and custom stores. Monitor the checkout as well as the homepage, get a warning before your certificate or domain expires, and find out if your store's domain is blocklisted.
By problem
SSL and domain expiry
Barkme checks the SSL certificate and domain registration of every verified domain once a day and warns you 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before they expire.
