Operator approved
Built for real operations. Loved by the people running them.
“I like that the system is easy to set up and use, but still offers an incredible amount of features and is easily extendable.”
Martin describes xyOps as the sweet spot between simpler workflow tools such as n8n and complex data platforms such as Apache Airflow.
“I was confident I’d like xyOps, but I had no idea how much easier it would make creating, monitoring, and running all our workflows.”
Reddit
“I used Cronicle for many years and kept watching for its successor. When xyOps dropped, it did not disappoint. It’s now a central piece of all my automation.”
One operational story
Your automation should not operate in the dark.
Most teams accumulate the same pile: cron jobs, shell scripts, workflow tools, monitoring dashboards, alert channels, and incident notes. Each tool sees one part of the system. When something fails, the operator has to reconstruct what happened across all of them.
xyOps connects the entire operational loop. It schedules the work, runs it across your fleet, watches the servers, captures the moment something goes wrong, and gives your team a path to respond.

Schedule, observe, and respond in one place.
The feedback loop
Schedule. Run. Observe. Respond.
xyOps keeps the job, the machine, the alert, and the response inside one continuous operational story.
- 01Schedule
Calendar, interval, webhook, custom trigger, or demand.
- 02Run
One server, a group, or your entire fleet.
- 03Observe
Jobs and infrastructure together in real time.
- 04Alert
Flexible conditions detect the moment something changes.
- 05Capture
Freeze the relevant server state automatically.
- 06Respond
Notify, ticket, call a webhook, or run remediation.
From alert to root cause in 2 clicks
An alert should tell you what happened, not just that something happened.
When an xyOps alert fires, it can capture a full server snapshot with metrics, processes, network connections, active jobs, and alert state frozen at that moment.
- 1A condition triggers.
CPU, memory, job state, or any custom monitor crosses a meaningful threshold.
- 2xyOps captures the server.
Metrics, jobs, processes, connections, and alert state are frozen together.
- 3You inspect the evidence.
Open the alert, then its snapshot. The original moment is waiting for you.
- 4Your team responds with context.
Launch remediation or open a ticket with the evidence already attached.
A literal two-click journey from the alert to the process causing it.
One connected platform
Four strengths. One operational system.
Orchestrate Visually
Turn operational jobs into understandable workflows with branching, parallel execution, joins, human approval, replay, and data passing.
- Visual editor
- Conditional execution
- Reusable sub-workflows
Observe the Real System
Watch servers and jobs together. Track built-in and custom metrics, inspect processes and connections, and compare historical performance.
- Live dashboards
- Custom monitors
- Server and group snapshots
Respond With Context
Turn failures and alerts into actions. Capture snapshots, open tickets, call webhooks, block unsafe launches, or start remediation automatically.
- Contextual alerts
- Tickets and webhooks
- Automated remediation

Customer story2.4×
average job speedup compared with AWS Lambda
High-performance jobs without serverless limits.
Inkarnate moved long-running, compute-intensive data migrations from AWS Lambda to xyOps running on high-performance EC2 instances. Jobs process hundreds of megabytes of JSON, launch headless Chromium, and report progress through built-in webhooks. Per-run logs and runtime data also make failures significantly easier to diagnose.
“We just ran 75,000 jobs across 75 servers in under 2 hours without issue! Love to see it.”
Jake L. Senior Developer at Inkarnate

A real person on the other side
Built by the creator of Cronicle. Supported by him, too.
I have spent more than a decade building open-source scheduling and operations software. Professional customers receive private ticket support with a one-business-day response target. Enterprise customers add direct access to me for deployments, migrations, upgrades, troubleshooting, and product feedback.

Straight answers
Frequently asked questions.
Still wondering whether xyOps fits your environment? Ask Joe directly.
Is xyOps Cronicle v2?
xyOps is the next generation of Cronicle, built by the same creator. It carries forward the job-scheduling and plugin philosophy while adding a new architecture, visual workflows, live monitoring, alerts, snapshots, tickets, secrets, buckets, and many other capabilities.
Is xyOps a drop-in upgrade for Cronicle?
No. xyOps is a separate application with a migration path. The importer, plugin compatibility mode, and migration guide make the transition easier, but you should test the migration before replacing a production Cronicle installation.
Is every application feature really free?
Yes. The complete application is available under the BSD 3-Clause license. Paid plans provide support and services, not feature unlocks.
Why would my company pay if the product is free?
Companies purchase support for private tickets, faster troubleshooting, production deployment guidance, migrations, upgrades, SSO assistance, air-gap assistance, and defined response targets. Enterprise support also includes direct access to Joe.
Does xyOps send telemetry anywhere?
No. The xyOps application sends no telemetry anywhere, and it never will. It includes no product analytics, usage tracking, or outbound reporting to PixlCore or any other telemetry service. Customer jobs, logs, metrics, secrets, configuration, tickets, snapshots, and usage data remain inside the customer's environment.
Which platforms can run xyOps workers, and what must I install?
xySat is a lightweight, self-contained worker and metrics agent for Linux, macOS, Windows, and Docker environments. It ships as a dependency-free executable package with everything it needs and installs itself as a service. Unlike Cronicle, you do not need Node.js or the full application on every worker server.
Can I talk to someone before purchasing?
Yes. Production teams can contact Joe directly to discuss fit, deployment, migration, billing, and support.
