A one-developer monitoring bot: add a site from the menu, and it checks it every 5 minutes and tells you when the site stops working or returns an error, and when it is back. There is also a «Check Right Now» button. Free, no account.
UptimeBot is a small monitoring bot whose Telegram bio credits its creator, @chipnick. According to the description and welcome menu recorded by the botostore catalog, it checks your websites every 5 minutes and sends a notification when a site stops working or returns errors, and another when it is back to normal.
Everything runs from a button menu: Add New Site, Check Right Now and Delete Site, plus /about for the author and /help. Check Right Now is useful on its own when you want an immediate answer instead of waiting for the next scheduled check.
That is the whole feature set, and the bot publishes nothing beyond it: no website, no limits, no word on what counts as an error or where the checks run from. It is a reasonable free safety net for a hobby site. For a site that earns money, a monitor with published terms and a status page is the safer choice.
