Just released systab — a single-file Bash script that gives you a cron-like interface for systemd user timers.

If you've ever wanted the simplicity of crontab but the power of systemd timers, this might be for you. Natural language schedules, desktop/email notifications, a crontab-style editor, and persistent services — all without leaving the terminal.

@furicle thanks. it's funny what can motivate you, but i really was missing the ease of `crontab -e` :-)

@furicle haha. that is brilliant. well it's not rust, but works. i've been leaning into the shell scripting lately. It's amazing how often that's perfectly enough, and it's refreshing to not have to constantly deal with changes in the ecosystem. POSIX tooling is just sooooo damn stable.
