HookWatch is a monitoring tool designed to track webhooks and cron jobs, providing developers with visibility into the invisible parts of their infrastructure. It helps stop firefighting silent failures and enables shipping with confidence by monitoring these critical components.

For webhook monitoring, HookWatch tracks every webhook hitting your endpoints with real-time webhook feed, full payload inspection, failure detection and alerts, one-click replay capabilities, and support for services like Stripe, GitHub, and Shopify. For cron monitoring, it provides human-readable schedules, execution logs and history, retry with exponential backoff, local-first CLI, and cloud sync with dashboard integration.

The product works with a developer-first approach featuring human-readable syntax where you can write "every day at 2am" instead of complex cron expressions. It offers a unified dashboard showing webhooks and cron jobs in one place, local-first CLI that works 100% offline with optional cloud sync, smart alerts through Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, and email, automatic retry with exponential backoff, and full history logging with duration, exit code, and output.

Benefits include never missing webhooks or letting cron jobs fail silently, debugging issues in seconds instead of hours, and ensuring reliable monitoring without enterprise complexity. Use cases include monitoring payment webhooks from Stripe, deployment notifications from GitHub, order processing from Shopify, and various cron jobs like database backups and health checks.

The tool is built specifically for indie hackers and small teams who need reliable monitoring solutions. It integrates with popular services including Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, Slack, Discord, and PagerDuty, and features a developer-first CLI that can be managed from the terminal with simple configuration.
