Meet Milo

Milo is a Miniature Pinscher puppy — 9 months old and full of energy. He's the watchdog mascot behind UptimeBuddy, the small pup with a big job: keeping an eye on your domains, servers, and certificates around the clock.

When a host goes down, Milo barks. When it comes back up, he wags his tail. He never naps on duty.

UptimeBuddy watchdog

Motto

Never naps on duty

A watchdog you can count on

Miniature Pinschers were bred to be alert, fearless little watchdogs, and Milo lives up to the breed. He's compact, fast on his feet, and impossible to sneak anything past. Those are exactly the qualities we wanted for UptimeBuddy — a sentinel that notices the moment something changes and tells you right away.

At 9 months old, Milo is still a puppy, but he takes his job seriously. He checks your HTTPS endpoints, DNS records, SSL certificates, ports, and IP hosts on a schedule you choose and never lets a quiet failure go unnoticed.

Off duty

When he's not watching your uptime, Milo enjoys zoomies, squeaky toys, and stealing socks. His charm reads "Milo" so you always know who's on shift.
