Dashboard-only cron companion: a Pocket Watch pane showing cron jobs by schedule (daily/weekly/monthly), a health view of run outcomes and consecutive failures, a timeline, and maintenance actions — a read-oriented window onto the scheduler rather than another agent-facing toolset.

## Good to know before installing

The pane's API reads the cron jobs file under HERMES_HOME to render schedules and run history; it registers no tools, hooks or middleware, performs no network I/O and holds no credentials.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install pocket-watch
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable pocket-watch
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
