Download Lingon 10 10.2.5 for Mac
Lingon 10 10.2.5 a free task-scheduling and automation program for Mac. It provides a straightforward, graphical method of controlling macOS’s built-in launchd system, enabling you to set up commands, scripts, shortcuts, and programs to execute automatically at certain intervals, repeatedly, or in reaction to system events. Without ever touching the Terminal, Lingon 10 enables you to start an application every morning, execute a backup script once a week, or automatically restart a failed process. The most recent version has been redesigned to make it easier to use while maintaining the robust automation capabilities that seasoned users have come to rely on.
Key Features:
Visual Task Scheduling:
Lingon 10 replaces manual launchd configuration files with a clean, graphical interface. You can create tasks that run apps, scripts, shortcuts, or terminal commands at a specific time, on a recurring schedule, at login, or when your Mac wakes from sleep. This is especially useful for anyone who wants to automate repetitive tasks — like backups, cleanup scripts, or app launches — without learning the technical syntax behind launchd.
Automatic App Recovery:
Beyond scheduling, Lingon 10 can monitor an app or process and automatically restart it if it crashes or quits unexpectedly. This is a big advantage for users running background services, servers, or long-running scripts on their Mac, since it reduces downtime without requiring manual intervention.
Hot Keys and Siri Integration:
Every task in Lingon 10 can be triggered instantly with a custom hot key, or launched using Siri voice commands and the macOS Shortcuts app. This benefits power users who want quick, hands-free access to frequently used automations, such as starting a backup script or opening a specific set of apps from anywhere on the system.
Task Notifications and Status Info:
Lingon 10 can send a notification whenever a scheduled task runs, and includes an Info panel showing when a task last ran or whether a problem occurred. This gives users better visibility into their automations, which is helpful for troubleshooting and confirming that scheduled jobs are actually executing as expected.
Natural Language Task Creation (AI-Assisted):
On supported macOS versions, Lingon 10 can use AI to let you describe a task in plain language instead of manually configuring each setting. This makes the app more approachable for beginners while still offering full control for advanced users who prefer manual configuration.
