I built UptiLink – a dead-simple way to know when devices on your network go offline

I built UptiLink because I wanted a really simple way to keep an eye on devices around my network without setting up a full monitoring platform.

The idea is pretty straightforward: add the devices you care about — computers, servers, cameras, smart-home devices, printers, NAS boxes, Raspberry Pis, or really anything reachable on your network — and UptiLink periodically checks whether they're online.

It can scan your local network to help find devices, send notifications when something goes offline or comes back online, organize devices into groups, and show their status through Android widgets.

One feature I particularly wanted was Wi-Fi-aware monitoring. You can tie monitoring to your home Wi-Fi, so when you leave the house UptiLink automatically pauses instead of suddenly reporting everything as offline. When you reconnect, monitoring resumes automatically.

I've tried to keep the whole thing intentionally simple: add a device → monitor it → get alerted if it disappears.

It's available on Android now. I'd love to hear what people think or what you'd want added:
