## What it is
Cronboard is a terminal-based (TUI) dashboard for managing cron jobs locally and on remote servers over SSH. Built with Textual, it lets users create, edit, pause, resume, search, and delete cron jobs with validation, human-readable schedule descriptions, and optional Telegram failure notifications.

## Use cases
- manage cron jobs from the terminal
- edit crontab without memorizing cron syntax
- pause and resume scheduled jobs
- manage cron jobs on remote servers over ssh
- search crontab entries by keyword
- get notified on telegram when a cron job fails
- view human-readable descriptions of cron expressions

## When to choose
- you prefer a keyboard-driven TUI over editing crontab by hand
- you manage crontabs across multiple servers via SSH
- you want validation and human-readable feedback when writing cron expressions
- you want a lightweight tool with no web UI or extra services

## When to avoid
- you need a web-based or team-oriented cron scheduler with job history and alerting at scale
- you need to replace the cron daemon itself or run jobs on systems without cron
- you need Windows support, since cron is a Unix facility

## Facets
- artifact type: application
