Cronping
A dead-man's-switch / heartbeat monitor for AI agent loops, cron jobs, backups and workers. Create a check with no account, drop the ping URL in your job, and if a ping does not arrive on time Cronping emails you. Also does pull checks (it fetches a URL on your schedule) and stuck/zombie-run detection. Genuinely free: 20 checks, 1-minute resolution, full history, no card.

Paste into a README or docs site. The widget loads snippets from Influzer — still not a SAFE badge.
Same handshake clock as this listing (overlay / warm / seed; live tools/list only if that is missing). Indigo is live_ok, amber is auth_required, gray is unreachable. Not a SAFE badge. Stdio listings have no badge.
