For indie SaaS founders · available now

Support tickets at 2am, churned trial users nobody replied to —
handled before you wake.

Helmwatch is the always-on back office for one-person SaaS shops. It sends tier-1 replies in your voice, fires save-flows at the trial users about to churn, and triages incidents + outage comms — so MRR keeps growing while you don't.

  • 01Tier-1 replies go out in your voice before you wake
  • 02Incidents get triaged before they page you
  • 03Stripe + Linear close the auto-invoice loop

Magic-link signup takes you into the dashboard to connect tools and begin setup. Practice continues at $149/month after the trial.

How it works

Three steps, then you go to bed.

Helmwatch is configured in an afternoon and then keeps a solo consultancy running on the nights you don't — incident triage, invoicing, follow-ups, replies and daily status, all on autopilot.

Step 01
Helmwatch watches your apps overnight

Late-night pings, on-call incidents, the cross-stack 2am spikes that drag you out of bed — Helmwatch keeps a continuous watch on PagerDuty, Better Stack, Stripe, Linear and Slack. Gmail stays read-only and is checked on demand in Replies for visible client-thread context, so drafts reach your morning queue instead of your phone.

Step 02
Drafts invoices and chases the overdue

Overdue invoices nobody chases, late invoices dragging cashflow, week-end follow-ups you forget — Stripe and Linear close the auto-invoice loop and Helmwatch drafts each chase in your voice, queued for your one-click review.

Step 03
Sends the morning digest

Before you wake, the night’s incidents, drafted invoices, queued follow-ups and replies are already summarised — your morning review queue lands in Slack and email so you walk into the day already triaged.
