Cronmint

The cron monitor indie devs actually enjoy using

Cronmint launched on May 27, 2026 with 4 votes, #2,419 of 20,538 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

What it does

Schedule HTTP requests. Get email alerts when they break. Free for 5 jobs. $9/mo for everything else.Schedule any HTTP request, get a beautiful log of every run, and get emailed or Slack-pinged the moment a job fails — or silently never runs at all. Heartbeat detection + retries, indie-priced at $9/mo. Free tier, 30-second setup, no DevOps degree required.

Cronmint runs your HTTP cron jobs on schedule and monitors heartbeats for the jobs you run elsewhere — with logs, retries, and email + Slack alerts. Start free.

Cronmint does both. Schedule an HTTP cron job and we run it for you — on time, with retries and full execution logs. Or send a heartbeat from a job you already run elsewhere and get alerted the moment it fails or silently stops. Email + Slack alerts included. Cronmint is both a hosted cron scheduler and a heartbeat monitor. Use either side on its own, or both together in one dashboard. Paste a URL and a cron schedule. Cronmint calls your endpoint on time, retries on failure, and logs every run — no server, crontab, or YAML to babysit. Add methods, bodies, and Bearer headers for private routes. Already run jobs on Vercel, a server, Laravel, node-cron, or GitHub Actions? Send a heartbeat ping…from cronmint.com

    I'm trying to disrupt the insane pricing of uptime monitoring. I hope you'll help me out. I'm trying to create the absolute cheapest dev monitoring tool on the market, while still being competitive with all the others. This means $3/month plan, while still having monitoring for: Website, REST API, UDP/TCP, ICMP, Heartbeat/CRON, WS/WSS, DNS, Domain Intel/expiry and SSL. Everything with unlimited alerts through webhooks. I'm also taking an unlimited approach to the amount of checks you can have. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    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 created a tool to schedule HTTP requests2021 · ▲17

    In my last project, I was struggling to create and monitor cron jobs. So, instead of creating hundreds of standalone scrips and executing them with cron, I decided to turn those scripts into multiple endpoints. Next, I created a single service that I could schedule HTTP requests to those endpoints and monitor its execution. No more scripts, now everything is endpoints that I can run manually at any time I turned this scheduler service into a Micro-SaaS so you don't have to build it yourself: beew.io I know you can Schedule HTTP requests with Zapier but come on... I will not pay 50 bucks for…

  • Talanoa▲341

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
