FAQ

Do I need the .NET runtime?

Only for the dotnet tool install — the Linux, macOS, and Windows binaries are self-contained and need nothing else.

Is the CLI open source?

Yes, MIT-licensed. Source on GitHub.

Does the CLI cost extra?

No — it uses your existing SteadyCron account and plan, including the free tier.
