Features

Built for self-hosters

Visual Schedule Builder

Pick presets like "Every hour" or use the granular builder. Switch to raw cron expression input at any time.

Full Run History

Every execution is logged with stdout, stderr, exit code, and duration. Know exactly what happened and when.

Push Notifications

Integrate with ntfy to get notified on failures, on every run, or both. Self-hosted or the public instance.

Manual Triggers

Fire any job on demand with one click. No need to wait for the next scheduled run.

Zero External Dependencies

Backed by SQLite: no Postgres, no Redis, no cloud services. One container, one volume, done.

Mobile-Friendly UI

The interface adapts to any screen size so you can check on your jobs from your phone.
