## About

Watchgoose monitors cron jobs, backup scripts, scheduled tasks, and other recurring workloads using heartbeat pings. Give each task a monitoring URL and ping it after a successful run; signal failures explicitly when needed. Watchgoose alerts you when a ping is missing after its configured schedule and grace period.

Built for developers and operations teams who need to spot silent failures without installing an agent. A free plan is available without a credit card, with paid tiers for larger monitoring needs.
