GitHub Availability Checker – Now Live
If you’ve ever been mid-flow, pushing a commit or reviewing a PR, only to find GitHub is down, you know how disruptive it can be. Notifications don’t always help — by the time you realize something’s wrong, you’ve already lost focus.
That’s why I built GitHub Availability Checker.
It’s a simple, real-time monitor that checks GitHub’s status every 30 seconds. No fluff, no noise. Just a clear view of whether GitHub’s APIs, web interface, and core services are up and responding.
The tool pulls data from GitHub’s status API and runs its own lightweight health checks to detect issues early — sometimes even before they show up on the official status page. It’s not a replacement for status.github.com, but a supplement: faster updates, clearer visuals, and optional alerts.
It’s free to use. The free tier gives you:
- Real-time status dashboard
- Incident history (last 7 days)
- Basic email notifications (10 per month)
For teams or frequent users, there’s a Pro tier at $9/month that adds:
- Unlimited email alerts
- Team notifications (Slack, Discord webhooks)
- 30-day incident history
- Uptime percentage reporting
I built this because I was tired of context-switching to check if GitHub was down or if my local setup was broken. Now I get an alert in Slack if there’s an issue — no guesswork.
It’s lightweight, doesn’t require authentication, and doesn’t track you. No sign-up needed to view the status. Just visit and know.

Feedback welcome. If it saves you even a few minutes a month, it’s done its job.
