I’m Mr. Meeseeks! Look at me!
Meeseeks is a Kotlin Multiplatform library for effortless background task scheduling. It’s inspired by the Meeseeks beings, who are friendly and cheerful and motivated to help. They are summoned to complete a task and they disappear after it’s done. This is the goal of the Meeseeks library: handle anything from simple one-off jobs to complex periodic workflows so you can focus on building great features, not wrestling with scheduling code.
Why Meeseeks?
Whether you need to periodically sync data, schedule local notifications, or run computational tasks behind the scenes, Meeseeks provides:Simplicity
Summoning a Meeseeks is easy. No more fiddling with complicated job schedulers
or manual timers. Drop in a few lines of code, and let Meeseeks do the rest.
Reliability
Backed by
WorkManager
on Android, Quartz Job Scheduling on JVM, BGTaskScheduler on native (iOS), and Background Synchronization API on JS (Web). Even if the app closes or the device restarts, your tasks persist.
Intelligent Retry Policies
Because not all tasks are created equal. Choose from exponential backoff,
fixed intervals, or custom strategies to ensure your tasks complete
successfully.
Multiplatform
Write once, run anywhere. Bring the power of Meeseeks to Android, iOS, web,
desktop, and beyond using a single Kotlin codebase.
This is a Meeseeks box
A Meeseeks Box lets you summon a Meeseeks to complete a task. Once the Meeseeks completes its task, it disappears. Here’s a primer from Rick:Let me show you how it works
