What is it?

Cronitor CLI is the companion command-line app for the Cronitor monitoring service. It imports and syncs existing cron jobs to Cronitor, runs commands wrapped with monitoring via `cronitor exec`, and ships as a single executable for Linux, macOS and Windows.

Beyond cron handling, the CLI manages Cronitor resources such as monitors, status pages, issues, notifications, integrations, groups, environments, team members and API keys. Output can be formatted as table, JSON or YAML, and browser-based login is supported alongside API keys set through environment variables.

It also includes the Crontab Guru Dashboard, a self-hosted web UI for viewing and managing crontab entries with run-now and suspend actions, plus a built-in MCP server so AI coding tools can configure and check jobs.
