Notable features

Full UI/UX redesign with unified design system and completely rebuilt auth experience
Public status page with four selectable themes and persistent theme configuration
Incidents now created on first failed check instead of after state transitions

Full changelog

What's New

A sweeping UI/UX overhaul has landed across the app. This release ships a full design-system pass together with a redesigned auth experience — login, registration, password reset, and the initial setup flow have all been rebuilt for clarity and consistency. Typography, spacing, dialogs, and inputs now follow a unified visual language across every page.
The public status page now supports four selectable themes, giving teams meaningful control over how their status page looks to the outside world. The themes are persisted via new theme and themeMode fields on the backend, so your selection sticks across sessions and deployments.
Incidents are now created on the very first failed check. Previously, monitors that were initializing or already in a "down" state could miss the first incident; that gap has been closed and the incident lifecycle is now correctly anchored from the initial failure.
Internationalization gaps have been closed across all 16 supported locales. Missing keys, untranslated fragments, and stale strings have been audited and filled in, so non-English users see a consistently translated UI throughout the app.
Modals and dialogs have been standardized on a shared layout. A new NoticeBanner design element, softer Cancel buttons, and a unified modal structure make confirmation flows feel calmer and more predictable.
Inputs and form controls have been refined. TextInput now forwards sx props for fine-grained styling, FieldLabel is fully theme-driven, and button hover states have been softened across the board for a more polished feel.
The Add Member modal now lays name and password fields side by side, cutting vertical space and making the invite flow feel less form-like.
The Incidents page has been visually reworked end-to-end for consistent typography, icons, and layout — the page now reads as a single cohesive view instead of a stack of mismatched sections.
Infrastructure network charts now show a clear notice when there's zero traffic, replacing empty graphs that previously looked like a rendering bug with an explicit, informative empty state.
The Remove monitors confirmation modal now includes explanatory body text, making the consequences of bulk removal obvious before the user commits.
Game server monitors now ship with inline guidance. The create-monitor flow explains how to set up the server-side query required for game monitors, so users aren't left guessing what to configure on their game host.
The "Open site" action is now hidden when a monitor's URL is not browser-openable (e.g. ping or port monitors), removing a confusing shortcut that previously led nowhere.
Vite's allowed hosts list is now configurable, making it easier to run the client behind custom domains, reverse proxies, and non-standard development hostnames without patching the config.
The app version is now sourced directly from package.json instead of being hardcoded, so version strings shown in the UI always match the build.
A noisy mongoose reserved-key warning on Check.errors has been suppressed at the model level, cleaning up server logs without changing behavior.
The OpenAPI spec for /monitors/team/with-checks now documents all supported query parameters, so SDK and client generators have a complete contract to work from.
Frontend conventions are now documented and enforced via ESLint. Five mandatory rules — covering MUI prop usage, theme paths, layout/typography constants, useTheme() access, and runtime/type pairing — are codified in docs/frontend-conventions.md and checked automatically in CI.
CONTRIBUTING.md and CLAUDE.md have been aligned with the current toolchain, including up-to-date Node, package manager, and tooling references so new contributors aren't following stale instructions.
A small but meaningful round of cleanup: a notification-template typo has been fixed, a broken documentation link has been replaced with the working one across the app, and a regression where status-page checks rendered in reverse order has been corrected.

Thank you to our new contributor @ayshaL for their first contribution in this release!

v3.6.1 New feature 1mo

Notable features

Teams as first-class citizens with monitor grouping and ownership
Configurable data retention policy
Three new notification channels: Telegram, Twilio SMS, Pushover

Full changelog

What's New

The checkmate.so website has been fully renewed, with a refreshed design and updated messaging across the board.
The documentation at checkmate.so/docs has been overhauled to reflect v3.6.1, covering the new features, updated setup instructions, and corrected references throughout.
Teams are now first-class citizens in Checkmate. You can group monitors by team, assign ownership, and scope notifications and access accordingly — making multi-team deployments and larger organizations much easier to manage.
Data retention is now configurable. Older checks and related records can be pruned automatically based on your retention policy, keeping the database lean and predictable over long-running deployments.
Two new notification channels have landed: Telegram and Twilio SMS. You can now deliver incident alerts via Telegram bots or send SMS messages through Twilio, alongside the existing email, Slack, Discord, webhook, Matrix, and Pushover channels.
Pushover is also now supported as a notification channel, giving mobile-first teams another reliable way to receive alerts.
The monitor status engine has been refactored end-to-end for atomicity and correctness. State transitions (up → down, down → up) are now evaluated more reliably, with tightened streak and heartbeat handling, fixes to "down" notifications that were not being dispatched, and a proper initial state so the first check after creation behaves predictably.
Status pages now include an infrastructure section. Public status pages can surface CPU, memory, and disk health from infrastructure monitors alongside uptime, with the status page API refresh interval tightened to 10 seconds for near real-time updates.
Status bar messages on public status pages have been rewritten to be clearer and more informative, and down monitors now correctly display a "down" state instead of a misleading "active for…" label.
Bulk edit for monitor notifications is now available via a dedicated endpoint, so you can attach or detach notification channels across many monitors in a single call instead of editing them one at a time.
Internationalization has been overhauled. All locale files have been restructured and translated, remaining zh-TW strings have been filled in, and the legacy PoEditor workflow has been disabled in favor of the new structure. Translation contribution guidance has also been refreshed.
The Matrix notification channel has been fixed and is working again for teams that rely on it.
DNS lookups now respect a configured cache TTL, preventing stale DNS results from silently breaking monitoring when upstream IPs change.
The "breached" infrastructure status has been renamed to "threshold exceeded" across the UI for clarity.
The login page no longer shows the register tip when registration isn't applicable, and users landing on a fresh instance with no super admin are now redirected to the setup flow automatically.
The production Docker Compose setup and nginx configuration have been updated and unified, making deployments more consistent across environments. A Windows batch script (build_images.bat) has also been added for building Docker images on Windows.
Test coverage has grown substantially: new service tests, integration tests, monitor status tests, heartbeat tests, initialization tests, and a dedicated check-tests workflow have all been added to catch regressions earlier.
Across the backend, controllers, services, middleware, validation, and migrations have been retyped and linted into a clean state — auth, diagnostic, incident, invite, log, maintenance window, monitor, notification, queue, settings, and snapshot controllers have all received typing and validation fixes, and the remaining ESLint errors have been resolved.
Other fixes worth calling out: email templates are now copied to dist during build (fixing empty notification emails), MJML templates are no longer ignored by TSC, the geocheck update logic has been corrected, the scheduler has been bumped and now consumes scheduler events, monitor stats are no longer mutated in memory, role types are enforced correctly, notification timeouts have been tightened, and the demo monitor import and demo user flows have been fixed.
Documentation has seen a round of polish: the README now includes a monitor lifecycle explanation and a Prerequisites section, CLAUDE.md has been expanded with the backend architecture flow and repository pattern, broken docs links have been fixed, the Node.js version requirement has been updated to >=20, and several typos and outdated references (including the old bluewave-uptime repo name) have been corrected.
