About Cronicle
Cronicle is a free, open-source task scheduler and runner with a web-based interface. It schedules and runs tasks across multiple servers from a single console, so teams can manage recurring jobs centrally instead of editing crontabs machine by machine. Written in Node.js and requiring no database, it is easy to deploy. Cronicle suits system administrators and developers who want a friendlier, more capable replacement for cron across their infrastructure.
