Install Crona

Crona is installed as a small local toolkit: the crona launcher, the terminal UI, and the background daemon that keeps timers and local state running.

You do not need Go installed for a normal package-manager install.

macOS and Linux

Install with Homebrew:

brew install webxsid/tap/crona

Then start Crona:

crona

Homebrew handles updates:

brew upgrade crona

Windows

Install with Scoop:

scoop bucket add webxsid https://github.com/webxsid/scoop-bucket
scoop install crona

Start Crona from PowerShell:

crona

Update it with:

scoop update crona

macOS Companion

The macOS Companion adds quick issue creation, check-ins, and a floating timer without replacing the TUI. It uses the same local daemon and data as Crona’s terminal surfaces.

Open the macOS Companion

Where Crona keeps data

Crona stores its runtime data locally:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Crona
Linux: ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/crona
Windows: %LocalAppData%\Crona

Set CRONA_HOME when you need a different location.

Next step

Open Getting Started and create one issue, run one session, and review the result.
