What Cronch is for
Every operating system already has a scheduler, but they’re built for machines, not people — Task Scheduler’s XML,launchd plists, raw cron. Cronch is the friendly alternative: a clean window where you can see what’s scheduled, what ran, and whether it worked, on both of your platforms in the same way.
Typical jobs people give it: nightly backups, periodic sync or upload scripts, a “good morning” report, cleanup tasks, anything you’d otherwise wire into cron or Task Scheduler.
Cronch is a tray-resident app: your jobs fire while it’s running. That’s why it launches at login by default — so your schedules keep running across restarts. You can turn that off in Settings.
