Loop engineering for your terminal. Run any command on a cadence.
loop-task is a cross-platform CLI that runs shell commands at human-readable intervals. Create loops in the background, manage them from an interactive TUI board, or run them in the foreground. It is the heartbeat primitive for loop engineering: instead of running a task by hand every time, you schedule it once and let it run.

Loop engineering
Loop engineering is designing systems that run work on a cadence instead of triggering each run yourself. A loop is a recurring goal: you define a purpose, give it an interval, and let it iterate. It applies to ordinary engineering work just as much as to AI agents: health checks, sync jobs, test watches, data pulls, deploy polls, and report generation are all loops.
loop-task is that heartbeat as a tiny local primitive. Some examples:
