ServerWatchBot
Bare-bones bot that checks whether a server or site you point it at is online, and lets you know if it drops. Free, minimal features, best for a single personal server rather than a fleet.
Key features
- Periodic online/offline checks for a server or site
- Alerts when the target stops responding
- No account or dashboard required
ServerWatchBot
ServerWatchBot does exactly what its name suggests and nothing more: point it at a server or site, and it periodically checks whether it responds, telling you when it goes offline. There is no dashboard, no monitor list to review, and no paid plan — the entire product is the conversation with the bot.
That minimalism is deliberate rather than a limitation to work around: for a home server, a self-hosted project or a single VPS that you just want a heads-up about, ServerWatchBot removes every step between 'I want an alert' and having one, at the cost of any of the finer controls — check frequency, multi-region checks, SSL monitoring — that a dedicated platform offers.
Treat it the same way as the other small independent bots in this category: a convenient, free personal safety net, not a replacement for a monitoring platform with team alerting, historical uptime reports or a support channel if something goes wrong with the bot itself.

Does it support checking multiple servers?
Not documented; the bot's bio describes a simple single-target check rather than a monitor list.
