Time to turn the tables

Rockad (say ro-KAHD) is Swedish for castling: the one chess move where the king and a rook move together and swap sides.

Good software fails every day, often for one reason: the people who built it had no network, no sales team and nobody to market it. Meanwhile, buyers end up with whatever shouts loudest, or whatever they already knew.

We think that's backwards. Rockad starts from your problem. You say what's getting in your way, and we show you the products that solve exactly that, and the people who built them. Nobody can pay to be placed higher.

That gives every product an honest chance to be found, and you a better basis for your choice.

The goal: when you realise you need a piece of software, Rockad is where you look first.

We've just opened, so the catalog is still small. Some Listings are written by Rockad from the Product's own site, marked “Not confirmed by the Maker”, until the people behind them Claim them.

  • I run several client websites and need to know within minutes when one goes down so I can fix it before they call me.
  • My site went down during an ad campaign and I lost money before I even noticed—I need alerts I trust.
  • When my website fails, I get a cryptic error code but don't know what broke or how to fix it.
  • I manage dozens of domains for different clients and manually checking each one is not scalable.
