Scheduled and Recurring

Run background jobs instantly, scheduled or recurring like a cron job or queue.

Simple webhooks

Just HTTP calls. No complex setup. Receive webhooks when jobs should be executed.

API-first design

Trigger jobs with a dead simple REST API – no SDKs required. Grab your API key and let's go.

Monitoring included

Monitor your jobs via the dashboard or API and get notified when they fail.

Cronjob Alternative

>Runit lets you schedule jobs, webhooks, and recurring tasks – without servers or crontabs. Simple API, no infrastructure.

Mergent.co Alternative

With Mergent.co shutting down and being integrated into Resend, >Runit is a simple, developer-friendly alternative for scheduling webhooks, background jobs, and recurring tasks – all via a lightweight API. No servers. No cronjobs. Just HTTP calls.
