A local web UI for managing Laravel scheduled tasks stored in a database. Instead of editing PHP files to add or remove cron jobs, you manage everything through a browser.

This app provides the UI to control which tasks the scheduler actually runs. A background trigger fires php artisan schedule:run every minute — the recommended method depends on your OS.

Tasks are stored in a scheduled_tasks database table. On each scheduler invocation, a service provider reads all enabled tasks from the database and registers them with Laravel's scheduler dynamically — no PHP changes required.

• PHP 8.4+
• Composer
• Node.js 20+ and npm
• SQLite (bundled with PHP on most systems)

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/your-username/cron-manager.git
cd cron-manager

# Install dependencies, set up .env, generate key, run migrations, build assets
composer setup

Run the install command and it will detect your OS and configure the right trigger automatically:

php artisan scheduler:install

To remove the trigger:

php artisan scheduler:uninstall

The Scheduler Health page (/health) shows whether the trigger is installed and whether the scheduler is actively running.

If you previously added a crontab entry by hand, remove it after installing the LaunchAgent — otherwise schedule:run fires twice per minute. The health page will warn you if both are active.

The installer creates a systemd user timer that fires every minute. On headless servers or non-login sessions, you may need to enable lingering so the timer persists after logout:

loginctl enable-linger $USER

composer dev    # Starts server, queue, log tail, and Vite concurrently

Then open http://localhost:8001.

Or start just the web server:

php artisan serve

composer dev          # Start all dev services (server, queue, logs, vite)
composer test         # Run test suite
composer setup        # Fresh install: dependencies, .env, key, migrate, build

php artisan migrate            # Run pending migrations
php artisan tinker             # REPL
php artisan scheduler:install  # Install the platform scheduler trigger
php artisan scheduler:uninstall # Remove the platform scheduler trigger

npm run dev           # Vite dev server (hot reload)
npm run build         # Build production assets

./vendor/bin/pint     # Fix code style (PSR-12)
