Lingon X

Lingon provides a graphical interface for creating and managing launchd jobs on macOS. Users can schedule applications, scripts, shortcuts, and shell commands to run at specific times, intervals, login, or via menu‑bar shortcuts, without needing to edit plist files manually. The app offers optional notifications to confirm execution and integrates with Siri and Shortcuts for voice‑activated task launches.

The standard macOS Store version focuses on ease of use, allowing quick task creation and menu‑bar access, while Lingon Pro (formerly Lingon X) adds advanced capabilities such as running tasks with root privileges, monitoring all background jobs, and handling multiple tasks in tabs and windows. Pro also includes refined authentication for privileged tasks and enhanced logging features.

Both versions require macOS 14 Sonoma or later and support older macOS releases through separate downloads. Lingon is aimed at users who need reliable, schedule‑based automation on macOS without using the command line, offering a balance of simplicity and depth depending on the chosen edition.
