Zero-Dependency Automation. Total Sovereignty.
Chronix is a fully open-source, self-contained automation platform designed for engineers who demand total data sovereignty and operational simplicity. By eliminating external database dependencies and complex runtimes, Chronix provides a robust, production-ready scheduler in a single, portable binary.
- Integrated Persistence Engine: All state and execution history live within a localized, high-concurrency internal engine—no external database (Postgres/MySQL) required.
- Secure Agent Orchestration: Manage tasks across remote infrastructure using encrypted WebSocket agents that "phone home" through firewalls via Ed25519-signed JWTs.
- Multi-Modal Tasking: Native support for SQL assertions (SQLite, PG, MySQL), Shell scripting (local/SSH), and Web/API hooks with JSONPath response piping.
- Human-Friendly Scheduling: Define rules like "Last Friday of the month" or standard 5-field Cron with active concurrency control.
- Real-Time Observability: Watch execution live via SSE (Server-Sent Events) and a unified activity timeline.
- Sovereign Deployment: Ideal for air-gapped environments, private clouds, and local workstations. One binary, zero dependencies.
Unlike traditional schedulers that require a complex "stack," Chronix is designed to be "unzip and run".
