## What it is
Pueue is a command-line task management tool for queuing and executing long-running shell commands sequentially or in parallel. A background daemon processes the queue independently of terminal sessions, with scheduling, dependencies, task groups, and crash-safe persistence.

## Use cases
- queue long-running shell commands in the background
- run tasks in parallel with a configurable concurrency limit
- schedule shell commands to run at a specific time
- keep tasks running after closing an ssh session
- manage multiple task queues with dependencies between tasks
- pause and resume background tasks from any terminal

## When to choose
- you need a persistent task queue that survives terminal disconnects and system crashes
- you want to serialize or parallelize long-running shell commands from the CLI
- you need scheduled or dependent shell task execution on a single machine

## When to avoid
- you need distributed task execution across multiple machines
- you need a full workflow orchestration engine with complex DAGs and a web UI
- you only need a simple cron replacement for recurring jobs

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: stable
- function: cli, scheduling, workflow-automation, concurrency
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: windows, rust, cli
