All guides
Start with the workflow you are wrestling with this week.
Uptime · 6 min
Uptime monitoring for indie apps without another bloated dashboard
How solo builders and small agencies watch endpoints, publish status pages, and avoid silent downtime, with free caps and optional paid unlocks.
Webhooks · 5 min
Webhook debugging without losing payloads in the void
Capture inbound webhooks, inspect JSON, and optionally forward to a local tunnel URL so Stripe, GitHub, and custom hooks stop disappearing.
Environments · 5 min
Share .env files with clients without pasting secrets in Slack
AES-GCM encrypted environment sync for freelancers and small teams. Keep development, staging, and production files in one project.
Cron · 4 min
Catch silent cron failures with heartbeat monitoring
Scheduled jobs that never run are worse than jobs that error loudly. Heartbeats tell you when the nightly backup simply never checked in.
Links · 4 min
Broken link audits that protect SEO without a heavy crawler suite
Queue sitemap crawls, flag dead outbound links, and watch affiliate URLs before they burn budget or rankings.
Domains · 3 min
Never miss SSL or domain expiry again
Track certificate and registration dates with alert windows measured in days, not the morning your browser starts warning visitors.
Forms · 5 min
Form backends for static sites without standing up an API
Collect contact and waitlist submissions on Astro, Next.js static, or plain HTML, with honeypot spam protection and optional email notify.
Flags · 4 min
Lightweight feature flags without an enterprise platform
Public JSON flags for kill switches and simple rollouts, when LaunchDarkly is overkill for a side project.
Redirects · 3 min
Short links for indie launches without another Bitly bill
Create /r/[code] redirects with click counts for Product Hunt, social bios, and campaign URLs, inside the same ops workspace.
Headers · 4 min
Check security headers before you launch
Score CSP, HSTS, and frame protections as a hygiene check. It is not a pen test, but it is enough to catch embarrassing defaults.
Done comparing? Unlock what stuck.
Create a free OpsRunr workspace and unlock modules only when free caps run out.
