A React Native plugin that wakes an app in the background roughly every 15 minutes on iOS and Android to execute periodic callbacks, with support for scheduling one-shot or periodic tasks. It handles OS-specific background execution constraints, including Android HeadlessJS support.
Use cases
- run periodic background tasks in a react native app
- sync data every 15 minutes on ios and android
- schedule one-shot background tasks in react native
- wake up app in background to fetch new content
- execute headless background jobs on android
- keep react native app doing work when closed
When to choose
- you need OS-scheduled periodic background callbacks in a React Native app on iOS and Android
- you want a maintained, MIT-licensed plugin with task scheduling support
When to avoid
- you need background execution more frequently than every 15 minutes
- you need tasks to continue after app termination on iOS
- you need precise, guaranteed background execution timing
