What is Cron?

Introducing Cron

Cron is a meticulously designed calendar scheduling product for professionals and teams. It supports everything from availability sharing to team overlays and multiple time zones. The application was voted the number one productivity app in 2021 and has since been acquired by Notion. This move demonstrates the productivity industry’s confidence in Cron's ability to continue innovating and improving the consumer calendar experience. As a next-generation calendar scheduling product, Cron has continued to attract attention and make waves during its development process. They have recently released Cron for iOS, giving Apple users access to its intuitive and innovative features. Despite being in beta, Cron is already being used by people at companies such as Figma, Loom, and Notion. It is packed with adaptive enhancements that anticipate user needs before the mouse clicks and comes with light and dark modes.
