What CronUI does
Your background jobs are either running correctly — or silently failing. CronUI tells you which.
One dot tells you everything
A green dot in your menu bar means every job is healthy. Amber means something needs attention. You don't open the app until you have to — and when you do, the answer is right there.
Know when things break
macOS notifications the moment a job fails. Smart deduplication means you hear about the first failure, not every retry. Click the notification to see exactly what went wrong.
Every run, recorded
SQLite-backed execution history tracks every job run — exit codes, duration, timestamps. 24-hour sparklines show health at a glance. Scroll through days of history without leaving the app.
Homebrew services, too
CronUI automatically discovers your Homebrew services alongside launchd agents. Postgres, Redis, Nginx — see everything in one place. No configuration required.
Loved by developers everywhere
Finally a proper way to monitor my launchd agents. CronUI caught a failing backup script that had been silently broken for weeks.
The menu bar integration is perfect. One green dot tells me everything is fine. When something fails, I know instantly. No noise, just signal.
I was running 15 Homebrew services and had no idea two were stopped. CronUI showed me in seconds. Worth every penny of the $7 license.
Love that it's native Swift with zero dependencies. The app is tiny, fast, and just works. Exactly what a utility app should be.
The execution history with sparklines is brilliant. I can see at a glance which jobs are flaky and which are rock solid. Great design.
