Task scheduler for Go
Schedule Go tasks with clear timing rules
Chrono runs one-shot, fixed delay, fixed rate, and cron-based tasks with cancellation, locations, and graceful scheduler shutdown built into the workflow.
Why Chrono
Chrono gives Go applications clear scheduling rules for one-time tasks, repeated jobs, cron timing, and graceful shutdown.
One-shot tasks
Schedule a task for a specific time with WithTime when work should happen once and then stop.
Fixed delay
Run the next task after the previous execution finishes and the configured delay has passed.
Fixed rate
Start tasks on a steady interval when the cadence matters more than the duration of previous work.
Cron schedules
Use cron expressions and optional locations when schedules need calendar-based timing.

Common questions
A few practical answers about Chrono schedules, timing behavior, and where it fits in Go applications.
Why use Chrono instead of time.Ticker?+
Chrono keeps common scheduling rules explicit, including one-shot tasks, fixed delay, fixed rate, cron timing, cancellation, and graceful shutdown.
What is the difference between fixed delay and fixed rate?+
Fixed delay waits until a task finishes before starting the next delay. Fixed rate keeps a steady interval when the schedule cadence matters more.
Does Chrono support cron schedules?+
Yes. Chrono supports cron-based schedules and optional locations for calendar-style task timing.
