About

cron schedules shell commands with the classic 5-field cron syntax and runs a

tiny foreground scheduler that fires them as they come due. Single binary, no

background service, no database - just a small JSON crontab.

Installers · v0.2.0

ArchitectureTypeScopeInstallDownload
x64Portable-Direct

Copy a command tailored to that specific architecture, type, and scope - useful when winget would otherwise pick a different default.

Security

No known CVEs for cron.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
