QJoe

Cue the command. Automate everything.

A CLI-powered automation layer for developers managing servers, scripts, and scheduled work — local-first, server-aware.

The problem

Too many manual server tasks. You keep running the same commands by hand, in the same order, at the same hours.
Scripts scattered everywhere. Bash in ~/bin, Python in /opt, cron on three boxes, a README nobody updated.
No unified automation layer. Every project reinvents the scheduler, the trigger, the logging, the retry.

Cue Joe.

One CLI. One config. One place to define and run the work.

Trigger cron · webhook · file · SSH · manual

Action any script, anywhere

Result logged · observable · retryable

CLI-first. API-ready. Zero new services required.

Features

CLI-driven

Everything scriptable, pipeable, version-controllable. No clicks, no panels.

Event triggers

Cron, webhooks, file watchers, SSH sessions — all first-class inputs.

Local-first

Run on your laptop, a VPS, or a fleet. Remote execution is opt-in.

Reusable library

Named commands, versioned configs, shared across hosts. Stop copy-pasting shell snippets.

Looks like this

$ qjoe run backup --server server1
# trigger: manual   action: backup.yaml   host: server1.example.com
→ connected server1
→ rsync /sites → backup-store/server1/  (8.4GB, 12.3s)
→ rotated: kept last 14
✓ done (14.1s)
