Crontab Guru
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!
Crontab Guru launched on February 9, 2022 with 66 votes, #801 of 2,645 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.
In plain words
Crontab Guru Dashboard is a free, self-hosted, open-source control panel for managing cron jobs through a web interface. It lets users create, update, suspend, and delete scheduled tasks, run jobs on-demand, and debug issues through a local console. The tool integrates with coding assistants like Cursor and Claude to configure jobs and check their status. It's designed for developers and non-technical users who want a secure graphical way to manage cron jobs without exposing them to the public internet.

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…
