    We’re the makers of Crontab.guru and Cronitor.io, both first launched on HN about a decade ago. We wanted a secure web GUI way to manage/run our own cron jobs — so we built it and open‑sourced it! With Crontab Guru Dashboard you can: * Create, update, suspend and delete your cron jobs easily * Start a job on-demand or kill running instances that are hanging around too long * Debug jobs with a local console * Use our MCP server to integrate with coding assistants like Cursor and Claude Code to configure jobs and check health/status Feedback welcome!

    I built runCLAUDErun because I got tired of manually running the same Claude Code tasks every day. It's free and it runs locally. What it does: It's a macOS app that schedules your local Claude Code to run on any schedule you want - daily, weekly, or custom cron expressions. My use case: Every night at 11pm, it automatically summarizes my Obsidian daily notes. But, it can schedule any Claude task - code reviews, data processing, report generation, web research, file organization, etc... Technical details: - Native macOS app (Electron + React) - Uses launchd for scheduling (proper macOS…

    Hi HN! I built NaturalCron because I was tired of writing and debugging CRON syntax like: /5 * * 5 Now you can write something human-readable in .NET: var expression = new NaturalCronExpression("every 5 minutes on friday"); Or use a Fluent Builder for strong typing and IDE support: var expression = NaturalCronExpressionBuilder .Every().Minutes(5) .On(DayOfWeek.Friday) .Build(); Great for: - Code-based scheduling in .NET apps - Overriding schedules from configs or databases - Displaying easy-to-read rules in UIs NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/NaturalCron…
