Wait, what is a Cron Job?
A Cron Job is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. Users who set up and maintain software environments use cron to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals.

How to use Chronicle
Master your schedule with our command center.
Creating Jobs
Click Add Job to open the creator. You can use our visual Form Builder to pick times without knowing syntax, or switch to Raw Expression mode for power usage.
Control Status
Toggle jobs between Running, Paused, and Stopped directly from the list. This helps you manage active tasks without deleting them.
Import & Export
Backup your configuration as JSON or export as a standard Crontab text file to deploy to your server. You can import both formats back into Chronicle.
Editing
Need to change a schedule? Just click the edit icon on any job row. Your existing schedule will be pre-filled in the form builder.
Pro Tip: Keyboard Shortcuts
Power users appreciate speed. You can quickly close the job creation/editing modal by pressing the Esc key on your keyboard.
