Hi! I've built this because I kept reaching for Celery for simple scheduled tasks and it felt like overkill. I just needed "run this function every hour" or "daily at 9am", not distributed workers.

So it's decorators for scheduling (@scheduler.every(5).minutes, @scheduler.daily.at("09:00")), state saves to JSON so jobs survive restarts, and there's an optional FastAPI dashboard if you want to see what's running.

No Redis, no message broker, runs in-process with your app. Trade-off is it's single process only — if you need distributed workers, stick with Celery.

Looks interesting. Wondering how this is different from the more established https://github.com/agronholm/apscheduler ?

This is really cool, and I could see myself using this. Sometimes I need functionality like this, but can't be bothered to build up the infrastructure around it. This is perfect for that use case.

This looks great OP. Do you have anything on the roadmap that you’d be open to receiving PRs for? I noticed there weren’t any issues in the repo and would be keen to lend a hand!
