Oh Dear

An all-in-one website monitoring tool tracks uptime, SSL certificates, broken links, scheduled tasks, and application health for development teams and agencies. The founders bootstrapped the product after finding existing monitoring solutions unreliable for their own projects, focusing on building a dependable infrastructure service that developers could trust without constant oversight. Growth came entirely through subscriptions and word-of-mouth within the developer community, with no outside funding. Oh Dear now generates over $83,000 in monthly recurring revenue, having crossed the $1 million annual revenue mark as a lean, self-funded operation.
