Metronome

Metronome is a Craft CMS plugin that brings Laravel-style task scheduling to Craft. One crontab entry fires every minute; everything else lives in a fluent PHP schedule you keep in version control with the rest of your project.

Features

• Fluent PHP schedules. Define when everything runs in one readable file: ->dailyAt('03:00')->weekdays()->withoutOverlapping().
• Every kind of task. Schedule Craft console commands, raw shell commands, PHP closures, and queue jobs — all with the same builder.
• Overlap prevention and single-server locks. withoutOverlapping() skips a run while the last one is still going; onOneServer() makes sure a task fires once across a load-balanced fleet. Both use Craft's cache, no files on disk.
• Environment gating. ->environments('production') keeps a task off staging and local without a single if block.
• Before/after events. Hook EVENT_BEFORE_TASK and EVENT_AFTER_TASK for integrations like Sentry Crons check-ins — you get the task, its duration, and its success or error.
• Control panel utility. A read-only Utilities screen shows every task, its human-readable schedule, and its next and last run.
• Console commands. metronome/run executes what's due, metronome/list shows the whole schedule, and metronome/clear-locks frees a wedged lock.
