Cron for your API — without the cron server.

Health checks, data syncs, scheduled audits, daily reports. Run any request, collection, or workflow on a schedule — entirely on your machine.

Why this is different

Most API clients stop at sending requests manually. Hosted monitoring services are cron, but they require uploading your entire collection, credentials, and response history to a stranger. Rostyman runs cron locally — your laptop, your server, your data center. No leakage, no subscription.

Four trigger types

From "run every 15 minutes" to "run once at 2026-12-31 23:59" — the scheduler covers it.

Cron expression

0 */15 * * *

Full cron syntax — every 15 minutes, at 3am daily, weekdays at 9am.

Interval

Every 5 minutes

Human-friendly presets when you don’t want to hand-write cron.

On startup

When Rostyman launches

Perfect for warming caches or kicking off a daily sync.

Once at time

2026-04-20 14:30

One-shot scheduled runs for announcements, deployments, audits.

Retry on failure

Exponential backoff with max-retry limit, per-status-code filtering.

Failure alerts

Desktop notification the moment a run fails. No dashboards to babysit.

Timezones

Runs in the zone you pick — not your server's UTC clock.

What you get

Schedule any saved request, collection, or workflow
Retry on failure with configurable delay and max attempts
Desktop notification on failed runs — bring the toolbox back
Per-schedule environment selection
Timezone picker — runs in your team’s zone, not server UTC
Full run history with per-step trace replay
Pause / resume individual schedules without deleting them
Soft-delete: removed schedules go to Trash, restorable for 30 days

Set it and forget it. Locally.

Your scheduler runs even when Rostyman is minimized to the tray.
