Certwatch

See certificates before they expire.

Certwatch keeps an inventory of certificates published for your domains: issuer, names, key, signature, and expiry. It is a hosted product for teams anywhere, built only from public Certificate Transparency logs. The app is at certs.playedu.games.

How it works

Add a domain

Sign in with a one-time email link, create an organization, and name the domains you care about.

Read public logs

A scheduler queues Certificate Transparency refreshes. Each run stores one page of what the logs return.

Watch expiry

Expired and expiring certificates are highlighted. Export the inventory as CSV whenever you need it.

What the inventory holds

Built only from public Certificate Transparency logs.

Identity

Subject names, issuer, serial, and SHA-256 fingerprint when the log provides the certificate.

Cryptography

Key type and size, plus the signature algorithm, when the certificate bytes are available.

Live endpoint checks

Add an endpoint under a domain and Certwatch probes the certificate that host is serving. That comparison can show a renewal that was logged but is not deployed.

Access

Owner, admin, and viewer roles, with an audit log of who changed the organization.

Alerts

Email alerts are on Pro and Team. Slack, Teams, Discord, and webhooks are on Team.

Try it without an account

Certificate checker

The free public certificate checker looks up expiry from public Certificate Transparency logs. One page of results, no account, and no connection to the domain.

Public demo

The mozilla.org demo is a read-only showcase built only from public Certificate Transparency logs. It is never probed. Certwatch is not affiliated with Mozilla and holds no private data from Mozilla.

A few answers

  • A listed certificate was issued. It was not necessarily installed. Transparency logs record issuance, not deployment. A name can show up because someone requested a certificate, even if you never installed it.
  • Only your organization can see its inventory. The public demo is the only organization inventory available without signing in. Anyone can look up one public domain on the certificate checker.
