What we shipped.
What we shipped in Uptimecheck, newest first: new features, improvements, fixes and security updates to monitoring, alerts and status pages.
October 2026

-
Backups kept in Stockholm and in the EU
Each nightly database backup is now also copied to storage in the EU, away from our server. The copies on the server and the daily server snapshots stay in Stockholm.
-
Blocklist checks for your mail servers
Domain monitors now look up your own mail servers, the addresses in your SPF record and your MX hosts, in SpamCop, PSBL and UCEPROTECT level 1. When one is listed, you get an alert through your usual channels.
-
Paused time and gaps no longer count as uptime
Time when a monitor was paused, when a workspace wasn’t active, or when our checks didn’t run is no longer counted as up. It shows as gray “no data” instead: in the app, on status pages, in client reports and emails, and in the API and MCP server.
-
“What this probably means” on incidents
Incidents now explain the likely cause in plain words, worked out from the failing response by fixed rules. You see it on the incident page and in the monitor’s incident box, and as a line in the alert when the cause is clear.
-
Status pages update at once, and templates for status updates
A status page now changes the moment an incident opens or closes, and notices to subscribers are sent again if a first try fails.
Save the updates you write often as templates for the workspace and pick one from the Templates menu when you post. {components} is replaced with the components you chose.
-
SMS alerts
Alerts can now go out by SMS to phone numbers in the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland. Professional includes 50 SMS credits a month and Business 200. On any plan you can buy packs of 100 credits for €12 or 500 for €50.
-
API reference with a quickstart and MCP setup
The API reference at app.uptimecheck.com/docs/api now starts with a quickstart in JavaScript and Python. It also covers pagination, cron job pings, a status page’s public data, and MCP setup for each AI client, with the full list of tools.
-
The new Uptimecheck app, with a live demo
app.uptimecheck.com is now our own app, built and hosted in Stockholm: ten monitor types, incidents with evidence, on-call schedules, status pages with cookie-free visitor statistics, and client dashboards, at fixed prices in euros.
Try every feature in the live demo, a made-up shop called Nordhem with 90 days of history, without signing up.
Downtime is obsolete.
