Every incident, from /incident declare to the last follow-up closed.
A dedicated channel, a timeline that writes itself, status from buttons on the pinned summary, and a postmortem drafted the moment you resolve. Ten minutes to set up. $50 flat, however many responders.

The whole lifecycle runs in Slack
Four steps, three commands and a pin — all of it where the team already is. No schedules, no escalation trees, no YAML.
- 01incident declare
Declare
Opens a dedicated channel, pins a summary, sets severity and names a lead. You're running an incident the moment you decide you are.
- 02incident update
Coordinate
Every update lands on a timestamped timeline. Status moves Investigating → Identified → Monitoring from buttons on the pinned summary.
- 03incident resolve
Resolve
Closes the incident and drafts the postmortem for you — what happened, how long it took, the full timeline, who was involved.
- 04📌
Follow through
Pin a message or type an action item and it gets an owner and a date. Bleeper nags the owner until it's closed, inside working hours, and mirrors it to GitHub Issues or Linear.
Stop paying per engineer for incidents
Most incident tools bill per user, so every hire raises your incident bill. Bleeper is one flat price for the whole workspace — the same $50 whether you’re four people or forty. Pay for a year up front and two months are free.
