General availability

Cron is now available for everyone! Read more on our blog about this milestone and our continued commitment to building the next-generation calendar.

We’ve removed the waitlist, and everyone can sign up at cron.com. We should be able to handle the traffic now. You can still invite friends or teammates directly (Ctrl/⌘ K > Invite to Cron…).

With general availability (GA), we’re releasing a long list of improvements across all platforms: better event blocking, more robust offline detection, updates to time zones, and much more.

Other improvements

• Adds event previews in Arc browser for Cron for web.
• Adds command (Ctrl/⌘ K) to join conferencing of upcoming or selected event.
• Improves reliability of the iOS widget refreshing data.
• Improves searching time zones with accented characters, e.g., typing “montreal” or “geneva” matches the “Montréal” and “Genève” time zones respectively.
• Improves reminder presets for all-day events (e.g., “1 day before” instead of “5 mins before”).
• Improves auto-blocking events on calendar by removing the block for declined events.
