Maintenance that runs itself.

Kudu's Scheduler lets you automate any maintenance task — system cleanups, malware scans, software updates, and more. Set a schedule once and your system stays clean and optimized without you having to think about it.

Kudu Scheduler
How it works

Schedule once. Let Kudu handle the rest.

Pick a task, set a frequency, and choose when it runs. Kudu executes it in the background — silently, on schedule — and logs every result so you can see exactly what happened.

Schedule any Kudu task

System cleanups, malware scans, software update checks, startup audits — any Kudu tool can be scheduled. Run tasks daily, weekly, monthly, or at a custom interval. Choose a specific time of day, or set tasks to run when your system is idle so they never interrupt your work.

Kudu Scheduler task list

Full history, every run

Every scheduled task logs its result — what was cleaned, what was found, what was updated. Notifications can be shown on completion so you always know when maintenance has run. If a task fails, the log tells you exactly why.

Capabilities

Everything you can automate.

System Cleanup

Schedule regular cleanups to automatically remove temp files, caches, and system junk on a recurring basis. Your disk stays clean without lifting a finger.

Malware Scans

Run scheduled threat scans to catch malware before it causes damage. Set a daily or weekly cadence and get notified if anything is found.

Software Update Checks

Automatically check for outdated applications on a schedule. Always know which software needs updating without manually scanning.

Flexible Recurrence

Daily, weekly, monthly, or custom intervals — set tasks to repeat on exactly the cadence your system needs. Configure the specific time of day or trigger on idle.

Completion Notifications

Get a system notification when a scheduled task finishes. Know what was cleaned, what was found, and whether anything needs your attention.

Task History & Logs

Every run is logged with a full result breakdown. Review past maintenance activity at any time and see trends in your system's health over time.

Run When Idle

Tasks can be configured to only execute when your system is idle — so scheduled maintenance never competes with what you're actively doing.

Per-Task Configuration

Each scheduled task carries its own settings — which categories to clean, which scan depth to use, whether to auto-apply updates. Configure once, run forever.

Next Run Preview

See exactly when each task is next scheduled to run. Enable, disable, or run any task on demand from the same interface.


A clean system, on autopilot.

Most systems accumulate junk, miss security patches, and go unscanned simply because maintenance keeps getting pushed off. Scheduler removes that friction entirely.

Any task

System cleanup, malware scans, update checks — all schedulable.

Set & forget

Run daily, weekly, monthly, or on idle — your system, your cadence.
