Local-first automation watchdog

Know when critical automation silently fails.

Honeycron finds and watches the scripts, schedules, and jobs your product depends on—then gives you one digest explaining what broke, why, and what to do next.

Runs locally. No hosted account or scheduler migration required.

Operator signal

From silent failure to a clear next action.

Honeycron groups repeated failures, keeps the last known success visible, and points the operator toward recovery instead of adding another stream of raw logs.

Why it matters

The same failure repeated after the last known success, so Honeycron keeps it in the current failure inbox.

How it works

Observe the workflow you already have.

Honeycron is a reliability layer, not another workflow engine. Start from a repo and add watches only where failure would matter.

01honey doctor

Discover what matters

Honeycron scans a repo for scripts, schedules, workflows, and monitoring gaps.

02honey watch

Watch it where it runs

Wrap the critical commands without moving execution, secrets, or logs into a hosted scheduler.

03honey digest

Act on one clear signal

See the last success, repeated failures, likely cause, and the next recovery action.

Local by default

Reliability without moving the work.

No migration

Keep using cron, GitHub Actions, Vercel, launchd, and the scripts you already trust.

Secrets stay local

Commands run on your machine and the local run ledger is redacted by default.

One operator view

Inspect scattered automation through one run ledger, digest, and local cockpit.

Quickstart

Inspect your first repo locally.

Clone Honeycron, install its dependencies, and run the scanner. honey doctor only inspects the repository and suggests watches; it does not start a daemon or hosted sync.

terminallocal install
$ git clone https://github.com/mmcm77/honeycron.git
$ cd honeycron
$ npm install
$ node ./bin/honeycron.mjs doctor

Early access

Map the automation keeping your product alive.

The local CLI works today. Honeycron is looking for operators who want to test it against real scripts, schedules, and failure modes before hosted sync is built.
