About Cronicle

Cronicle is an open source job scheduler that runs across multiple servers. It replaces traditional cron with a web-based interface where you can set up repeating tasks, one-time jobs, or complex dependency chains. It handles logging, failure notifications, and load distribution automatically.

The system uses a primary/secondary architecture with auto-failover. You define jobs as shell commands, Node.js scripts, or any executable. It supports time zones, JSON configuration imports, and a real-time activity dashboard. The backend is written in Node.js and stores data in a local LMDB database with no external dependencies.

It is ideal for operations teams that manage multiple servers and need a central way to schedule maintenance scripts, billing automations, or data processing. Cronicle is free under the Apache 2.0 license, with source available on GitHub and no paid tiers or feature restrictions.
