The Problem
Scheduled tasks (cron jobs) are the backbone of most software operations — backups, reports, cleanups, monitoring. But managing them is painful. The syntax is cryptic, there's no easy way to see what's running, and when something fails, you usually find out too late.
For teams managing jobs across multiple servers, it's even worse. There's no centralized view, no history, and no way to version-control what's scheduled where.
What We Built
A visual terminal interface that makes cron jobs manageable without leaving the command line.
Four panels — servers, jobs, history, and details — let you see everything at a glance. You can create schedules using plain language ("every day at 9am") instead of memorizing cron syntax. Job templates handle common tasks like database backups and log rotation with a few keystrokes.
The tool connects to remote servers over SSH, so you can manage scheduled tasks across your entire infrastructure from one place. A sync feature stores job definitions as version-controlled YAML files, so your scheduled tasks live alongside your code — reviewable, auditable, and recoverable.
The Impact
What used to require SSH-ing into individual servers and editing crontab files blind is now a visual, searchable, version-controlled workflow. The project is open-source and actively maintained.
