Rippler

Know when a cron job stops running.

What it does

Rippler watches cron jobs and anything else that runs on a schedule — backups, imports, queue workers, CI. The job pings a URL when it runs; if the ping doesn't arrive when it was expected, you get an email or a Discord alert. rippler sync reads your crontab and wires every job up in one command.

Get an email or Discord alert when a cron job runs late, misses a run or reports a failure. Free for 10 monitors.

Your job pings a URL when it runs. If the ping is late or reports a failure, Rippler alerts you. One line in the crontab, nothing to install. A cron job that stops running doesn’t raise an error. It doesn’t retry, page anyone or write to a log. You find out later, from whatever depended on it. Anything that can make an HTTP request can report to Rippler. There is no agent to run and no library to keep up to date. One curl after your command. Nothing to install on the server, and -m 10 keeps a slow network from holding your job open. 0 3 * * * /usr/local/bin/backup.sh && curl -fsS -m 10 -o /dev/null https://api.rippler.io/ping/7gM7Qy7/ 02 Enter the cron expression and read it back in plain…from rippler.io

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
