Render AwakeA small tool for fewer cold starts. View on GitHub
GITHUB ACTIONS WORKFLOW GENERATOR

Keep your Render service awake.

Generate a GitHub Actions workflow to ping your Render service on a schedule.
No backend, no setup complexity.

Configuration

01 / CONFIGURE

Repository name or full GitHub URL.

Scheduled runs use the repository’s actual default branch. Merge your workflow there to activate it.

Use a public HTTPS endpoint, optionally with a health-check path. Do not include secrets.

GitHub schedules are best-effort and may be delayed. Cron steps restart each hour.

Outside this window, normal traffic can still wake your service.
