About exit1.dev
exit1.dev is a hosted uptime monitor that checks websites and services as often as every 15 seconds. A live view streams each probe as it happens with DNS, connect, TLS and time-to-first-byte timings, so status, latency and failures are visible immediately. Monitors can be HTTP and HTTPS endpoints, plain TCP or UDP ports, WebSocket connections and ICMP ping.
Checks can originate from both US and EU locations, so a regional outage is not confused with a problem at one vantage point. The product also watches domains, covering when SSL certificates expire, who the registrar is according to WHOIS, and the DNS records, organizes monitors in folders, keeps logs and offers custom public status pages. An MCP server lets assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and Claude Desktop set up monitoring from a repo.
Sign-up works with GitHub or Google and needs no card. The listing says 50 monitors are free, plans scale up to 1,000 monitors, and paid plans start at $3 a month with a 7-day free trial. The site also publishes live status pages and 90-day uptime figures for well-known services.
