Look after client sites without watching them yourself.

You are the whole support team. Beamfar is website monitoring for freelancers who look after client sites: it checks each site from two regions, wakes you only when both agree, and keeps the evidence for the client.

  • One person, ten client sites on Solo
  • Nothing to install
  • No card for the trial

Demo data, made up: one region blinked, the other saw the site up, so nobody was woken. The blip stays on the timeline.

What a one-person shop needs

Fewer false alarms, a clear answer when something breaks, and a way to show clients the work without an afternoon of screenshots.

  • Sleep through the blips

    One region failing sends no alert. You hear about it when two regions agree, with what each saw.

  • Notice the quiet failures

    An expiring certificate, a changed DNS record, a page that went noindex, a domain about to lapse: all on one timeline.

  • A report per client

    One monthly report per client, printable to PDF, every number from a stored check. See a sample.

Your sites, wherever you are

The same portfolio on a phone, with the trouble first. Install the app from the browser and turn on incident notifications for your own devices.

  • No app store and no paid service: notifications travel through the browsers’ own push services, encrypted for your browser.
  • Tested with a stand-in push service, not yet on a real phone.
  • Alerts also go by email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, Google Chat, PagerDuty, Opsgenie or ntfy.

The portfolio of a demo agency on a phone: one site down, one with a regional issue and ten steady, the trouble first.

Paste your list

Demo data, made up: three client sites, added at once.

Questions

Is there a plan for one person?

There is a Solo plan: 10 client sites and 2 people. The prices on the home page may change before paid plans open; nothing can be bought yet.

Do I need to install anything on my clients’ sites?

No. Checks run from outside, so any stack works.

Where do alerts go?

To email on every plan, and to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, Google Chat, PagerDuty, Opsgenie or ntfy on every paid plan. A signed webhook comes with the Team plan and up.

Look after more sites with the same hours.

Add your client sites and both regions start checking. Judge the evidence yourself.

No card for the trial.
