CronMon, a plain-English map of your Mac's scheduled jobs
A macOS menu bar app that puts cron jobs and launchd agents on one timeline, explains upcoming runs, and diagnoses common failures.
- For
- Mac users managing cron jobs and launchd agents
- Worth noticing
- It distinguishes launchd's recorded history from cron runs observed only while the app watches.
Field notes
The app reads both a user's crontab and launchd configuration, then presents schedules as sentences and dots on a selectable time horizon. Its diagnostics cover concrete macOS failure modes, including PATH differences, Full Disk Access for protected folders, missing executables, unread mail output, and launchd intervals that are too short. The page also separates launchd's native run records from cron observations made only during the app's watch period.
