Built for AI agents

Delete your cron functions.

cronservices calls your APIs on a schedule, or once at an exact time, and reshapes the JSON in between. No servers, no deploys.

A job instead of a function.

No repo, no deploy target, no cron trigger to wire up. Every run is recorded.

  1. 1

    Schedule

    Standard cron in your time zone, from every minute to the last weekday of the month. Or one exact timestamp.

  2. 2

    Request

    Call any API, or a built-in step for Slack, email, SMS, Stripe and more. Secrets stay in encrypted credentials.

  3. 3

    Reshape and chain

    Map the response into the next request. No code to deploy.

One-time jobs

Or just once, at an exact time.

Swap cron for a run_at timestamp. The job fires once, switches itself off, and stops counting toward your job limit. No queue, no delayed-job worker.

  • End a trial 14 days after signup
  • Text a reminder the evening before an appointment
  • Flip a feature flag at launch time

Built in, not bolted on.

Send to chat, email, SMS and paging tools, or read from Stripe, GitHub and public data, by filling in a few fields. Anything else is an HTTP request away.

For anything in this project that needs to run on a schedule, use cronservices instead of a cron function. Read https://cron.services/llms.txt first. My API key is in CRONSERVICES_API_KEY. List existing jobs before creating one, schedule in my time zone, and tell me what you scheduled.

Ship the schedule, skip the function.
