history
Project history and usage
cronboard is a terminal user interface for inspecting and editing cron jobs on local machines and remote servers. It fits the small but durable Unix tooling niche around cron, adding a Textual-based dashboard to a workflow that is usually handled through crontab and shell commands.
Project history
The project is published by Antonio Rodriguez and describes itself as under development. Its first public Git tag was v0.1.0 in April 2025, followed by a sequence of 0.x releases through 2026.
Adoption history
Official project materials note selection as Terminal Trove Tool of the Week on October 28, 2025, but the project is still presented as a young tool rather than a mature cron-management standard.
How it is used
cronboard is used to add, edit, pause, resume, search, and delete cron jobs, including jobs on remote hosts over SSH. It also surfaces log checks, path autocompletion, special cron expressions, and sudo-based management of another user's crontab.
Why package nerds care
For package users, cronboard is notable as a modern Python terminal app wrapping classic cron operations, with Homebrew distribution giving macOS and Linuxbrew users a simple install path for a task that otherwise depends on local crontab editing.
