What you get

You can see and control what runs in the background on your Mac.

AgentView gives you one place to check your Mac’s launch agents and cron jobs, rather than searching through folders and configuration files. You can see when tasks are scheduled, understand what’s due next, and review previous runs to check whether a job worked or look for signs of trouble. That makes it easier to understand what your background automation is doing.

When you need to make changes, you can create jobs, adjust their schedules, or enable and disable existing tasks without manually editing configuration files. Whether you’re maintaining scheduled tasks or checking an unfamiliar job, you can review its timing and history before deciding what to change.

  • Change automation without config edits
