A Flutter plugin that lets developers execute Dart code in the background on Android and iOS, even when the app is closed. It wraps native schedulers like Android's WorkManager/JobScheduler and iOS background fetch to support periodic and one-off tasks.
Use cases
- run background tasks in a flutter app
- sync data from an api periodically on mobile
- upload files in the background on android and ios
- schedule periodic cleanup of cached data
- fetch new notifications while app is closed
- run long-running background work as a foreground service
When to choose
- you need reliable periodic or one-off background execution in a Flutter app on Android or iOS
- you want tasks to survive app closure using native schedulers like WorkManager and background fetch
- you need long-running background work like bulk uploads with a foreground service notification
When to avoid
- you need background execution on platforms other than Android, iOS, or macOS
- you need web support for production, since web support is experimental with honest limitations
- your project requires a permissively licensed dependency and license clarity is critical, as the repo license metadata is unclear
