Monitoring tools are broken. Here's why.
We've been there. You probably have too.
"That'll be $500/month, please"
Enterprise observability platforms think you're Netflix. Spoiler: you're not. Why pay for features you'll never use when you just need to know if your app is alive?
"Setup: 3 days, 7 configs, 12 coffee breaks"
You wanted to monitor your app, not get a PhD in YAML. Most tools need a dedicated team just to configure them. That's not tiny. That's ridiculous.
"Your data is… somewhere?"
Black box platforms that hold your data hostage. Want to export? Pay extra. Want to switch providers? Good luck with that migration.
There's a better way. A tiny way.
Observability that respects your time and wallet
Tiny Owl strips away the enterprise bloat and gives you exactly what you need: clear insights, simple setup, and pricing that won't make your accountant cry.
5 minutes to first insight
Copy. Paste. Done. Add our SDK, ship it, and start seeing data flow in. No YAML wrestling. No config hell. Just monitoring.
Pay for what you use
Start free. Scale affordably. No hidden fees, no sudden bill shocks. Built for bootstrappers by bootstrappers.
Your data, exportable
Your events stay yours. Export CSV or JSON anytime on Insight and above. No vendor lock-in.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Log events in minutes, not sprints
Install an official SDK, grab an API key, and start sending structured events. HMAC signing, timestamps, and replay protection are automatic.
- HMAC-SHA256 signed REST ingest
- JavaScript, Python, and PHP SDKs
- Info, warning, and error severity
- JSON context on every event
- VS Code extension for browsing events

From zero to observability in 3 steps
Seriously, it's this easy. No DevOps team required.
Install the SDK
One package-manager command and you're set — npm, pip, or Composer. No extra config files, no agents to run.
npm install @tiny-owl-kit/observability # or: pip install tinyowl-observability # or: composer require tiny-owl-kit/observability
Create your client
Grab your API key and Project Secret from the dashboard. The SDK handles HMAC signing automatically.
import { TinyOwl } from '@tiny-owl-kit/observability';
const logger = new TinyOwl({
apiKey: process.env.TINYOWL_API_KEY,
projectSecret: process.env.TINYOWL_PROJECT_SECRET,
});Start logging events
Three severity levels. Attach any context you need. Every request is signed with HMAC-SHA256.
// Info — regular operational events
await logger.info('User signed in', { userId: '123' });
// Warning — unusual events to watch
await logger.warning('API limit at 95%', { used: 950 });
// Error — failures that need attention
await logger.error('Payment failed', {
orderId: 'ORD-42',
reason: 'Card declined',
});Ready to get started?
Pricing that makes sense
