Skedbit

Hey Product Hunt — I’m Karen, the maker of Skedbit, and this started from a personal itch. A few days ago I was building something that needed scheduled API calls. Nothing fancy — just simple cron jobs to hit a webhook every few minutes. But everything I tried had the same annoying issue: Timeout limits were too short. 30 seconds max? Sometimes I just need 45 or 90 seconds to get a job done. Not because it's inefficient — just real-world use cases like calling an external API, updating a database, or running a process that doesn’t need to be lightning-fast, just reliable. The other options were either: – too rigid (hard timeouts, no control) – too bloated (felt like I was setting up an entire ops pipeline) – or too expensive for something so basic. So I built Skedbit — a simple cron job scheduler designed for developers who just want to run their jobs reliably, get notified when something fails, and see performance analytics at a glance. Here’s what makes Skedbit different: Longer timeouts (up to 3+ minutes) — because not everything fits in 30s Retry policies and alerts — so failed jobs don’t go silent Clean UI with job-level analytics — success rate, response time, failure trends Simple pricing — no surprises, no seat limits If you’ve ever had to spin up a server just to run a cron job or duct-tape together a job + retries + logging + alerting… I built this for you. Skedbit doesn’t try to be an automation platform or compete with Zapier. It’s built for one job: triggering your endpoint reliably, with the power you need and none of the noise. There’s a free plan if your jobs are short (under 30s), and paid plans for longer or more advanced workloads. Would love to hear what you think, what you’d add, or what your stack looks like right now. Thanks for reading — Karen here and listening.
