01
It learns you.
Diet, allergies, budget, how much you actually want to cook, when you work and when you don’t want to hear from it. Answer four questions, or edit it like a config file.
02
It plans around your work.
Paste today’s meetings, like “standup 10:00, 1:1 15:30”, and the day routes around them. Lunch never lands mid-call, and pings wait until you’re out.
03
Cook it or order it.
Every meal comes with a short recipe sized to your cooking appetite, or a one-tap search on the delivery app you already use. Cronch never checks out for you.
04
Pings on your schedule.
Every 45, 60, 90 or 120 minutes, never in quiet hours. Or drop the whole day into your calendar and let your phone do the reminding.

Cron jobs for your body.
Cronch is a personal agent for developers. It learns what you like to eat, plans meals, water and breaks around your work, and checks in on a schedule you choose.

01The bug
The bug isn’t in your code.
Flow state is great until it’s 4pm, you’ve had three coffees and zero meals, and the headache arrives before the fix does. Reminder apps nag at the wrong moment. Diet apps want you to log every almond.
You need something that runs on a schedule, knows your calendar, and stays out of the way. So we wrote a crontab for lunch.

02How it works
Four jobs. One schedule.
Set it up once in about a minute. After that Cronch runs in the background of your day, like a good cron job should.
03The agent
Talk to it like a terminal.
Say it in plain words, or run a command. Cronch answers with real options and one-click changes to your day. Your hands never leave the keyboard.

Scripted preview. The real agent answers from your profile and today’s plan.
04History
Green squares that are good for you.
A day counts by how well you kept the plan: meals eaten, water drunk, breaks taken. Streaks are honest, and a missed day is just a missed day.

05FAQ
Questions, answered.
When can I use it?
We’re building it now. Join the waitlist and you’ll get one email when the beta opens.
Does Cronch order food for me?
No. It suggests a dish and opens a search on Uber Eats, DoorDash or Google Maps. You choose and check out yourself.
Do I have to log calories?
No. You mark a job done, skipped or snoozed. That’s the whole input.
Will it ping me in the middle of a meeting?
It shouldn’t. Pings route around the meetings you add and never fire during quiet hours.
What do you store from this page?
Your email, the one answer you pick, and the time you joined. Nothing else, and we never share it.
