Before & after

What changes on day one

Without PlainShip

  • Crontabs hidden on individual servers
  • Failures you find out about days later
  • No history of what ran and when
  • Editing jobs means SSH-ing into each host

With PlainShip

  • Every schedule in a single list
  • Notifications when a run fails
  • A saved log for every run
  • Pause, resume or run now with one click

How it works

Four steps, no agents

  1. Pick an action

    Command, saved script, playbook, deploy, pull or health check.

  2. Set the timing

    Choose a preset or write a cron expression and preview the next runs.

  3. Let it run

    The built-in scheduler runs jobs 24/7 — exactly once.

  4. Hear what matters

    Status, logs and notifications for every run.
