Distributed cron that just works.
Single binary. SQLite default. Production-ready retries.
docker run -p 4000:4000 -e CRONIQ_ADMIN_PASSWORD=changeme ghcr.io/nuetzliches/croniq
Everything you need to replace fragile crontabs with something you can trust.
One Docker pull or cargo install. No JVM, no cluster, no dependencies. SQLite embedded by default, Postgres when you scale.
Exponential, linear, or fixed backoff with jitter. Failed jobs land in a dead letter queue for inspection and one-click replay.
Human-readable scheduling config. Validate, format, compile, and migrate from existing crontabs. Infrastructure as code for your schedules.
Runners poll for work via HTTP long-poll. Scale independently. Built-in capability routing and lease management.
Jobs, runners, executions, dead letters. Live status via SSE, log viewer, and scheduling controls out of the box.
12 tools for AI assistant integration. Manage jobs, observe queues, trigger runs from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Define jobs, calendars, and retry policies in a human-readable config file.
defaults { timezone Europe/Vienna retry exponential { max_attempts 3; base 2s; cap 30s } timeout 5m } calendar business-days { include weekly monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday exclude annual 01-01 12-25 12-26 } job billing:invoice { every weekday at 02:00 { calendar business-days } runner { require billing } timeout 15m } job etl:sync { every 15 minutes }
