Terms

Last updated 2026-09-27

These are the terms for cronwatch.dev and the CronWatch software. They are short because there is not much to them: this is the website of an open source project, not a service you sign up for.

The software

CronWatch (the @cronwatch/sdk and @cronwatch/mcp packages on npm, the cronwatch gem on RubyGems, and the code on GitHub) is released under the MIT License. That license, not this page, governs how you use, copy, change and share the code.

The software is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. It is a library that runs inside your own application and writes its records to your own database. You decide where it runs, what it stores and who it alerts, and you are responsible for that setup, for the data in your database, and for any services (email, Slack, AI providers and so on) you connect it to.

CronWatch helps you notice when scheduled jobs go wrong. It cannot promise to catch every failure, and the absence of an alert is not a guarantee that nothing went wrong. Do not rely on it as the only safeguard for anything critical.

This website

cronwatch.dev hosts documentation. It has no accounts, holds none of your data, and runs none of your jobs. You may read it, link to it and quote it. Please do not try to break it or overload it, and do not use the contact form to send spam.

The site links to GitHub, npm and RubyGems. Those sites have their own terms.

Liability

As far as the law allows, the maintainer is not liable for any loss or damage that comes from using the software or this website, including missed alerts, lost data or downtime. The MIT License says the same.

Changes

These terms may change as the project does. The date at the top says when they last did.
