AlwaysUp is a Windows utility designed to run any application—such as executables, batch files, scripts, or Java applications—as a Windows Service. Its primary function is to ensure that important programs start automatically at system boot and remain running 24/7, even when no user is logged in. This tool is positioned for users who need to guarantee uptime and reliability for critical software, including both GUI and non-GUI applications, without requiring any programming knowledge.
The platform offers an intuitive graphical interface for configuring applications as Windows Services, requiring only the application's name and path to get started. Once configured, AlwaysUp constantly monitors the application, automatically restarting it if it crashes, hangs, or exceeds memory or CPU limits. It can also restart applications or even reboot the computer on a schedule. The tool supports advanced automation, including the ability to dismiss error dialogs, fill in forms, and integrate custom "sanity check" utilities to verify that applications are functioning normally. AlwaysUp generates regular, detailed email alerts about performance, crashes, and restarts, and logs all activities to the Windows Event Log. It is compatible with modern Windows environments, including Windows 11, Windows Server 2025/2022/2019/2016, and works in virtualized settings such as VMWare and Virtual PC.
Control over AlwaysUp-managed services can be extended through a free add-on, AlwaysUp Web Service, which allows management from a web browser. For automation and scripting needs, command line tools are available. The platform is efficient, requiring minimal system resources, and supports features such as boosting application priority and handling Session 0 Isolation. 99 and discounts for larger quantities. A risk-free 30-day trial is available, and technical support is provided via email or phone.
