A friendly heartbeat monitor
for Timpi search

A tiny app you run on your own computer. It sends real searches to Timpi — gently, at most one a minute — and shows you, live in your browser, that it's working.

Windows · macOS · Linux · Raspberry Pi

What is this, in plain English?

Timpi is a private, decentralized search engine — an alternative to Google that doesn't track you. timpi-cise is a small program that exercises that search and shows you how it's doing.

1

Makes up searches

It generates realistic, everyday search queries — like "best budget laptop" or "how does compost work".

2

Searches Timpi

It runs those searches on Timpi gently — never more than one per minute — using a real browser behind the scenes.

3

Shows you it works

A live dashboard shows each search, the results it found, how fast it was, and overall health.

How to use it

Three clicks and you're watching it work.

⬇️

1. Download & run

Grab the file for your computer and open it. Your browser pops open with the dashboard.

🌐

2. Pick a mode

Choose browser mode to run real searches on timpi.com. It starts in a safe practice mode by default.

▶️

3. Press Start

Watch the Live Results panel fill in with real searches and results, one a minute.

Go to Downloads

Prefer to build it yourself? You only need Go 1.26+:

cd timpi-cise
go build -o timpicise ./cmd/timpicise
./timpicise

What's inside

A lot more than a search box — a proper little monitor.

📊

Live dashboard

Every search and its results as they happen, with a pulsing "live" indicator.

🎯

Realistic queries

A built-in library of real-world searches, or upload your own list.

🤖

Optional local AI

Have your own model (Ollama or LM Studio) write the search questions — or skip it entirely.

📈

Health metrics

Success rate, zero-result rate, response-time percentiles, and hourly trend charts.

🔔

Checks & alerts

Set expectations and get a Slack/Discord/webhook ping if something goes wrong.

💾

Keeps history

Stats survive restarts; every search is saved to a downloadable CSV.

🧩

Runs everywhere

Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi — all from one small file.

🛡️ Built to be a good neighbor

It's a gentle monitor, not a way to hammer a service.

  • 🐢 One search per minute, max. Baked in — it can't be turned up.
  • 🔒 Runs only on your computer. Private unless you open it up.
  • 🙅 Honest by default. Starts sending nothing; tells you the truth about results.
  • 🛑 Backs off automatically if the service asks it to slow down.
