About Broken Today
Last updated 10 November 2026
Broken Today answers one question quickly: is a service down for everyone, or is the problem on my side? We read the official public status pages of 387 online services - AI tools, developer platforms, clouds, chat, payments, games and more - every 2 minutes and show what each company reports, in one place and in the same words.
What you see here
- The vendor's own status. Every status on the site comes from the company's official status page; 340 of the pages use the common Statuspage format and 47 are read with a reader written for that company's own feed. The source is linked on every service page.
- A record that stays. Status pages show only recent incidents and edit them later. We keep every incident we see, with its own page, so you can look up an outage after the vendor has moved on.
- Our own checks of the websites and APIs of 35 large services, run from a server in Germany. They never change the status shown; we say so when they disagree with the vendor.
- Visitors' reports ("Not working" / "Works for me"). Shown as counts; they never change the status either.
The exact rules - what counts as an outage, when an incident stops counting, how "seen before the vendor" is decided - are on how it works. Which pages we read and whether each one answered recently is on sources.
What it cannot tell you
A green light means the company reports no problem - not that everything works. Status pages are updated by people, often minutes after an outage begins, and some companies post only their biggest incidents. Problems with your own account, network, browser or region usually do not appear on a status page at all; the service pages list the checks worth trying.
Independence
We are not affiliated with any of the services listed and nobody pays to be listed, to be left out, or to be shown in a better light. There are no ads, sponsored placements or affiliate links on the site. Service names and logos belong to their owners and are used only to identify each service. The site is run at its operator's own cost.
Who runs it
Broken Today is run by Late Checkout, s.r.o., Company ID (IČO) 30247349, registered office Korunní 2569/108, Vinohrady, 101 00 Praha 10, Czech Republic. It is built and run in Prague, Czech Republic, on servers in the European Union.
Corrections
If something on a page is wrong - a status that does not match the official page, an incident that is missing, a status page that has moved, a mistake in our text - use "Something wrong on this page?" at the bottom of any service or incident page, or write to hi@brokentoday.com. A person reads every report. We fix our own mistakes (wording, the mapping of a service to its status page, the help texts) as soon as we have checked them. We do not change what a vendor reported: when a vendor edits an incident, our copy follows the next time we read the page.
How the text is made: statuses, counts, reliability figures and the "at a glance" summaries on incident pages are computed from the recorded data by fixed rules - no AI writes them. Incident titles and updates are the vendor's own words, quoted. The help sections on the most searched service pages ("not working? what to check") are written with AI assistance from the vendors' public help pages and kept free of anything that changes over time; if one is wrong, tell us and we correct it.
