Standby Mode
Put a page — or your whole site — behind a clean 'we'll be right back' screen with a live countdown, while you and your team keep seeing the real site. Flip it on or off without republishing.
- Whitelist your own IP
- Built-in countdown
- Five animated illustrations
- Toggle without republishing
Built to do real work, and entirely yours to restyle: 83 settings, from every color and font to each animation. Free covers the basics; Starter, Pro and Lifetime unlock every setting.
In developmentNeeds: Nothing, unless you whitelist your IP — we read it on our servers, so it can't be faked.
Not just pretty — it does the work
What Standby Mode actually does for your business and your visitors.
- Lets you through
Blocks the public, not your team
Whitelist your IP, your team's or your client's: they see the real site while everyone else sees the maintenance screen.
- Remote switch
Turn it on or off without republishing
Point it at a small file you control; flipping it changes the site within about a minute.
- Countdown
Says when you're back
A live countdown, then the site reappears by itself — or visitors are sent to your status page.
A maintenance screen people don't mind seeing
A clear message, a live countdown to when you're back, and a button to reach you. It fades in on your colors and fonts.
- Countdown in days, hours, minutes and seconds
- Reveal the site automatically when it reaches zero
- Or send visitors to a status page
You still see the real site
List your own IP, your team's or your client's, and they bypass the screen. And with a remote switch you can turn it on or off, or move the end time, without republishing.
- Single IPs, IPv6 addresses and IPv4 ranges
- A remote on/off switch you control
- Start now or at a fixed date, end after a duration or at a date

Entirely yours to change
