Is Nightshift Watchdog hosted?

Yes, Nightshift Watchdog is a hosted service. You create an account and point a job at a ping URL, and the service runs the checks and sends the alerts without requiring you to install or run anything yourself.

How fast will I be alerted?

Checks run every minute. A job is marked down when its deadline passes, and the alert is sent then—typically within about a minute after the missed check-in. Explicit failures alert immediately when the fail ping arrives.

Yes, you can cancel Pro or Team at any time from the billing page, which opens the Stripe customer portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain the paid plan until then.

How do you store webhook URLs and bot tokens?

Webhook URLs and bot tokens are encrypted before being saved, with the key kept separate from the database. The dashboard shows only a masked hint, not the secret. Ping URLs are stored as a hash for lookup with an encrypted copy for display. Card numbers are never stored.

What happens if I downgrade?

Monitors over the new plan's cap are locked, not deleted, with the oldest monitors staying active. Slack, Discord, and Telegram alerts stop delivering until the plan includes them again. Spend and runaway alerts stop on Free. Email alerts for silence and recovery remain on all plans.

What it is

Nightshift Watchdog is a hosted monitoring service that alerts you when automated jobs stop running or when loops start spending money unexpectedly. It integrates with n8n, Make, Zapier, Claude Code, GitHub Actions, Vercel Cron, and agent frameworks, catching silent failures before they become expensive problems. You set up a monitor with a ping URL and interval, ping from your job on completion, and receive alerts via email, Slack, Discord, or Telegram when a job misses its scheduled check-in or spending spikes. The service checks for missed pings every minute and supports spending limits and loop detection on paid plans.
