Keep it up

Today we would like to point out an application that is a bit niche but which seemed really interesting to us. Keep it up is a very simple app that will let you know if a certain IP or website is online or not!

There are many useful tools for this task, for example we we use a system called Better Uptime in its basic version. There are also many other applications that can be installed on your server (such as this) and there are also websites that allow you to check the status of sites, servers or applications for free or for a fee (such as This).

We therefore know that we are speaking to a particular niche of people, but we do not remember having ever found similar tools on Android that can be used without almost any technical knowledge.

Keep it up, the features

The application Keep it up it will remain active in the background (without consuming excessive battery, in our opinion) and will carry out the operations you request. The settings that can be made:

• the type of connection required
  • a simple ping;
  • a connection to a specific port;
  • downloading a particular website or address;

• the host or URL to download to check that everything is ok;

• the time interval, in minutes. You can start from one minute and even go up to once a day (every 1440 minutes, therefore);

• if the connection must be made only via WiFi;

• receiving notifications, only in case of errors.

In short, as you will have understood, a very interesting application for daily use, at least if you have a website or a server to keep under control. We liked the ability to use an application with just a few clicks without subscribing to external services.

Keep it up and naturally Open source and is also currently available exclusively on F-Droid. Below you will find the references to download it.
