Status Trace
LiveA status page for small projects, without the professional price tag.
Honest Framing
What it is
A self-hosted status page product. It shows the health of each component of your system, lets you open, update, and resolve incidents with the history kept on the page, and emails subscribers when something breaks and when it recovers. Multi-tenant: anyone can have their own page at their own subdomain, with their own branding and a built-in contrast check for accessibility. Magic-link sign-in, dark mode by default.
What it's not
Not a full monitoring or alerting platform, and not a replacement for uptime checks or on-call tooling. It tells your users what's broken; it doesn't decide that for you.
Audience
Who it's for
- Builders running small projects on the side
- People who have looked at a status page and balked at the price
- Anyone who wants a branded status page that costs almost nothing when idle
Who it's not for
- Teams needing enterprise monitoring and alerting
- Anyone wanting automated uptime detection out of the box
- Projects that need a heavily managed, SLA-backed vendor
Current State
Last updated: June 27, 2026Live at statustrace.com with components, incidents, email subscriptions, per-organisation branding, magic-link sign-in, and dark mode. Free, with a free tier that will stay. Being put in front of sidewrks readers as an experiment.

Signal looking for: Do builders running small things on the side actually set up a status page, and tell me where it falls short?
