Give your always-on computer a Keep Connect heartbeat.
Turn a Windows PC or Apple silicon Mac into a cloud-managed Keep Connect endpoint—with local setup, continuous connection policies, speed monitoring, and background services built for unattended operation.
Your connection, at a glance
This server is running as a locally managed Keep Connect endpoint.
Built for systems that are expected to stay online.
Server Edition extends the Keep Connect platform beyond smart power devices. Register the computer itself in KCCS, configure its local services once, and continue managing it through the Keep Connect experience you already know.
A computer that appears in KCCS
Register the machine as a Keep Connect endpoint with a stable identity that does not change when a network adapter is replaced.
Connection checks with a response plan
Use KC Pipelines to choose validation depth, timing, notifications, Keep Connect power-cycle targets, health signals, and optional local response actions.
Speed thresholds that can trigger recovery
Measure download and upload performance on a schedule and signal a selected Keep Connect device when repeated results fall below your configured floor.
Background services, independent of the GUI
Install cloud heartbeat, speed testing, and pipeline monitoring as separate operating-system services so closing the local manager does not stop unattended operation.
A polished setup console when you need it
Sign in, register, configure, inspect status, and manage services through a purpose-built local interface designed for technical operators.
Choose only the services the site needs
Run the KCCS heartbeat alone or add speed and pipeline policies. Each component is configured and installed independently.
Configure locally. Operate continuously. Manage through KCCS.
Install
Download the signed release for the target computer and open the local manager.
Connect
Sign in with an eligible KCCS account and register the computer as an endpoint.
Configure
Choose heartbeat, speed, and connection-policy settings for the site.
Run unattended
Install the selected services and continue management from your Keep Connect apps.
Trusted downloads for Windows and Mac.
Current website releases are signed by Johnson Creative, LLC. The Mac build is notarized by Apple, and the Windows build is Authenticode-signed and timestamped through Microsoft Azure Artifact Signing.
Windows x64
A complete portable release folder with the local manager and all three Windows service payloads.
macOS · Apple silicon
A hardened-runtime application signed with Johnson Creative's Developer ID and checked by Apple's notarization service.
Software your customers can verify.
Every production download is built, signed, timestamped, verified, and tested as the final customer archive—not simply copied from a development machine.
What to know before deployment.
Does the local window need to remain open?
No. Once you install the required background services, those components operate independently of the local management window.
Does it replace a physical Keep Connect device?
Server Edition monitors and manages the computer as an endpoint. Pair it with compatible Keep Connect devices when your response policy needs physical power cycling.
What subscription is required?
An active eligible KCCS Pro or Commercial Use subscription is required. Contact Johnson Creative to confirm the right plan and endpoint count for your deployment.
Can I configure it from KCCS later?
After registration, the server participates in the Keep Connect platform as a managed endpoint. The local GUI remains available for login, setup, service control, and local changes.
Ready to add Server Edition to your Keep Connect deployment?
Tell us what you are monitoring, which operating systems are involved, and how many endpoints you need. We will help match the deployment to the right KCCS plan.
Keep Connect Server Edition requires an eligible KCCS subscription and internet access for cloud features. Response actions—including power cycling or rebooting a computer—must be configured carefully for the deployment.
