Create a cronjob without installing anything: Cronjob.de calls your URL on schedule, to the minute. The log shows you what your script answered, and you get an email when something breaks.
14 days with every feature no payment details needed free forever afterwards
Your hosting provider, shop or CMS hands you a text you cannot make sense of? Just paste it. We read out the address and the schedule, ask if something is missing, and fill in the form with it. You look it over and save.
You can also describe just the schedule: „Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm every 15 minutes" – and the schedule is filled in for you.
Why Cronjob.de
Most web hosting plans have no cron, allow only one call per day or require SSH access. That is exactly what we are here for.
You need no server access and install nothing. Enter the URL, pick a schedule, done.
WordPress, TYPO3 and Shopware only run scheduled tasks when someone visits the site. We call reliably, at night too.
For a handful of scheduled calls it makes no sense to run and maintain your own machine.
Call log
A cronjob that seems to run but does nothing often goes unnoticed for weeks. That is why we store your server's response in plain text for every call, along with duration and size.
Statistics
The last 200 runs form a curve for duration and output size. That is how you spot an import that has grown from 2 to 20 seconds, long before it hits the time limit.
Notification
If your server answers with an error or not at all, an email goes out with the error message and a link to the log. At most one message per folder and day, so a broken job cannot flood your inbox.
AI access (MCP) New
Cronjob.de speaks the Model Context Protocol, MCP for short. Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor to your account and simply ask, instead of clicking through lists. Enter the address, confirm in the browser – no token to copy.
In use
What your script does behind the URL is up to you. These six tasks are the ones we see most often among our customers.
Export orders, sync stock levels, update prices.
Back up databases, clear caches, tidy log and temporary files.
Work through sending queues, send reminders and campaigns.
Sync data between systems, read feeds, fetch rates and weather data.
Collect key figures, generate and send daily and monthly reports.
Check availability, keep an eye on certificates and deadlines.
Reliability
Cronjob.de has been around since 2003 – one of the first web cron services there was. If you set up a task that should still be running in five years, you want to know who will be running it by then.
Calls are spread across independent machines in Helsinki, Nuremberg and Falkenstein. Each takes its share from the same list. If one fails, the others keep going.
Data protection
A cronjob service calls your systems and sees what they answer. Where that is processed, and by whom, should be verifiable. With us it is.
Our servers are located in Nuremberg, Falkenstein and Helsinki, running on hardware of Hetzner Online GmbH. No processing outside the EU.
Your contract partner, support and invoicing are based in Germany. German law, German jurisdiction, invoice with VAT shown.
We store the last 20 responses per cronjob. You can delete the log in your account at any time, for a single job or for all of them.
No advertising trackers, no selling of data. We load external services only where they are actually needed.
Pricing
You decide at checkout whether the plan renews automatically. When a paid plan runs out, the account simply returns to the free plan.
Common questions
Email address, password, URL, schedule. That is all it takes.
