Run your Shortcuts on a schedule β€” in 45 minutes, every hour, weekdays at 17:00 or on the last Friday of the month. Shortcuts can already run things at a fixed time of day. Cronlet adds what's missing: intervals, one-off delays, time windows and monthly schedules, with a clear list of what runs next. SCHEDULE β€’ Once: β€œin 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 minutes” or at any date and time β€’ Daily: one or more times, on the weekdays you choose β€’ Interval: every 5 minutes up to every 12 hours, optionally only between e.g. 08:00 and 18:00 on weekdays β€’ Monthly: on chosen days, on the last day, or e.g. on the first Monday β€’ Every few days or weeks β€’ Stop automatically after a number of runs or on a date STAY IN CONTROL β€’ Next run for every job at a glance β€’ Pause and resume, Run Now β€’ Upcoming runs and a local run history β€’ Pick shortcuts from a searchable list β€” or type their names β€’ A warning if your automation missed a run WIDGETS, CONTROL CENTER AND SIRI β€’ Next Runs widget for the Home Screen and Lock Screen β€’ A Control Center button that runs a job's shortcut once in a few minutes β€’ Ask Siri to run, pause or resume a job; find your jobs in Spotlight ONE AUTOMATION FOR ALL JOBS Cronlet sends a notification when a job is due. A single Shortcuts automation reacts to it and runs the right shortcut. The in-app guide walks you through it once β€” after that, you only add jobs in Cronlet. SHORTCUTS ACTIONS β€’ Get Due Shortcut β€” used by the automation β€’ Schedule Shortcut β€” β€œrun this in 30 minutes” from inside any shortcut β€’ Run Job Later, Run Cronlet Job Now, Pause and Resume a job β€’ Pause All Cronlet Jobs BACKUP Export your jobs to a file and import them again. No account needed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no server, no tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone. FREE AND PRO Free: up to 3 active jobs β€” once, daily and hourly. Cronlet Pro (one-time purchase, no subscription): unlimited jobs, any interval, time windows, several times per day, monthly and every-few-days schedules, automatic end, input text for your shortcuts and full history. Requires iOS 27 or later for notification-triggered automations. Without the automation, tap a Cronlet notification to run the shortcut.
