Show HN: FastScheduler – Decorator-first Python task scheduler, async support

https://github.com/MichielMe/fastscheduler
19•michielme•5h ago
Hi! I've built this because I kept reaching for Celery for simple scheduled tasks and it felt like overkill. I just needed "run this function every hour" or "daily at 9am", not distributed workers.

So it's decorators for scheduling (@scheduler.every(5).minutes, @scheduler.daily.at("09:00")), state saves to JSON so jobs survive restarts, and there's an optional FastAPI dashboard if you want to see what's running.

No Redis, no message broker, runs in-process with your app. Trade-off is it's single process only — if you need distributed workers, stick with Celery.

This looks great OP. Do you have anything on the roadmap that you’d be open to receiving PRs for? I noticed there weren’t any issues in the repo and would be keen to lend a hand!
michielme•1h ago
Definitely open to PRs! Still early days so lots of room for improvement. Feel free to open an issue if you have ideas.

This is really cool, and I could see myself using this. Sometimes I need functionality like this, but can't be bothered to build up the infrastructure around it. This is perfect for that use case.
michielme•1h ago
Thanks! Yeah that's exactly the use case — when you just need something scheduled without setting up a whole stack.

Looks interesting. Wondering how this is different from the more established https://github.com/agronholm/apscheduler ?
michielme•1m ago
APScheduler is solid and more mature. Main difference is the API — FastScheduler is decorator-first so you get @scheduler.daily.at("09:00") instead of configuring triggers, executors, and job stores separately. Also has a built-in FastAPI dashboard.
