The Problem
Stop paying more to watch your app than to run it.
Hosted log platforms store and query billions of lines from thousands of customers at once. That scale is the hard part, and it is the part you don't have.
You pay for it anyway. Metered by the gigabyte. Alert rules you tune by hand. One more dashboard to check. You end up running observability instead of running your app.
Host your own logs. One tenant, not thousands. The hard part disappears, and logging and monitoring get simple. That's LogNorth.
The Answer
Logs do all of it.
One stream of logs does all of this. Alerts, errors, and AI answers come from your logs, and uptime is a ping every minute. No second system.
Logs alert
An error log pages you. Smarter than a flat 5%. It learns your baseline and fires when it's actually wrong.
Logs monitor
An outage shows up as silence. LogNorth learns your normal log volume and alerts when it drops to zero. It also pings your URL every minute.
Logs debug
Logs and errors in one stream, grouped into 1 issue, not 1,000 duplicates. No separate tracker.
Logs feed AI
Point Claude Code or Cursor at your logs. It reads production, finds the failing request, and hands you the fix.
Logs stay readable
Plain lines a human scans in seconds. Errors in red, context attached. No grep, no parser.
Logs stay cheap
No per-GB meter, so you log everything, not just what you can afford. One SQLite file on a $5 box. $99 once.
Your AI agent reads all of it and investigates on its own. See how agents use LogNorth →
A closer look · Alerting
Percentages lie.
Take alerting. Most tools alert on a flat threshold like 5%. That's noise at 3am over nothing, and silence at noon during a real fire.
3am
20
requests
1 error = 5%
Noise.
Noon
10,000
requests
500 errors = 5%
Fire.
LogNorth learns your baseline. It alerts when something is actually wrong.
Alerts
Pinged where you'll see it.
When the logs say something's wrong, LogNorth reaches you on the channel you already check.
Your logs hold your stack traces, file paths, and user IDs. They shouldn't sit on a vendor's server, billed by the gigabyte.
LogNorth runs on a box you own. You pay once. If something breaks, you email me.

Maker of LogNorth.
Buy, don't rent
Buy once. The bill stops.
$99 for the software, plus a $5 box you own. The bill stops there.
Five years in: $399 vs $1,560. You keep $1,161.
Cancel a subscription and your logs are gone. You can't cancel what you own.
A small app at 12,000 requests a day. LogNorth is $99 once plus a small server, here Hetzner's cheapest box at $5/mo. The hosted side is a real entry plan at $26/mo with 90-day retention. That's the floor: send more and it climbs, and after 90 days the lookback ends. LogNorth keeps everything your disk holds. At 12,000 requests a day, five years of request logs is about 7 GB.
