RunVouch vs Uptime Kuma
Uptime Kuma is the self-hosted uptime monitor everyone runs at home, and it has push monitors that work as a dead man's switch. RunVouch is the agent-specific layer on top of that idea.

| Push (heartbeat) monitors | yes | yes |
| HTTP / TCP / DNS uptime checks | yes | no |
| Failure with stderr excerpt | no | yes |

When to use which
Keep Uptime Kuma for everything with a URL. For scheduled agents, a push monitor tells you the script ran; RunVouch tells you whether it did the job and what it spent, and the self-hosted version is also MIT.
