Cronstable is the on-call companion and full native dashboard for cronstable, the open-source job scheduler. Built for production servers and homelabs alike. Pair the app with your servers by scanning a QR code. ALERTS • Push notifications for failed runs, workflow failures, approval gates, and SLA breaches, including late, stale, or long-running jobs • End-to-end encrypted: every alert is encrypted for your device before it leaves your server; the relay in between can never read it • Approve or reject gated jobs right from the Lock Screen • Fully usable without push: the app can poll your servers directly, with a refresh interval you choose, from 1 to 300 seconds A NATIVE DASHBOARD • Jobs board with live status, run history, and logs streamed in real time • Track workflow runs, individual tasks, and approval gates • Run trends for every job, plus interactive CPU and memory charts for the jobs you monitor • Node and cluster views for multi-server fleets • Schedule tools: heatmaps of job activity, duplicate detection, a cron expression sandbox, and plain answers to "why did this run?" AT A GLANCE • Home Screen widgets for fleet health • Add your job schedule to your calendar YOUR DATA IS ALWAYS YOURS • No account or sign-up required. No analytics. No ads. • Tokens stay in the device Keychain; the app talks to your servers over LAN, Tailscale, or HTTPS. • Works with the free, MIT-licensed cronstable daemon: github.com/ptweezy/cronstable FREE AND PRO Cronstable is free and includes one saved server and up to 500 push alerts per month per device.

Un Bien is a native client for the Pi coding agent (http://pi.dev). Pair your phone with your own machines over a relay you host, then attach to running agent sessions: live transcripts with styled edit diffs and tool results, inline images, thinking blocks, plan & subagent panels — and an interactive prompt for ask-style clarifications. Steer mid-turn or queue follow-ups; launch new sessions on paired machines (opt-in, machine-side). Self-hosted by design: there is no Un Bien cloud, no account, and no telemetry — your relay, your keys, your machines. Includes a read-only demo mode so you can look around without any setup.
