Features
(What It Does)
View and Run Any Task from the Windows Task Scheduler
Any mobile device. Anywhere. Access your scheduled tasks, see previous run history, and run at the tap of a button!
App Connects to Your Windows Server Via a Web API
You simply install the Virtual Task Runner API to your Windows Server, deploy it to IIS with a secure URL, create a secure key to access it, and configure same settings in the Virtual Task Runner mobile application. That's it! Once configured, you can monitor and run any task which the server has enabled for you to see and run.
Filter (Block) Any Task From Being Accessed Via the Mobile App
The API run from your server is completely customizable to allow only the tasks you want to be seen. There are filters for both allowing and blocking (anything that starts with X is allowed... anything that starts with Y is blocked).
Limited Rights - No Editing, Changing, or Deleting of Tasks Allowed
The app only allows tasks to be fetched (read and viewed) or a task can be submitted to be run. There are no other actions possible. This is by design. Neither the app nor the API has anything configured to allow the editing, changing, or deletion of tasks. This is by design and will never be changed.
Auditing/Logging of All Connections From App to Your Windows Server
Virtual Task Runner logs all activity from all mobile devices to the web API which you host. The data is stored in a SQLite database (VTR.DB) in the App_Data directory. There is also a utility in the same folder to view or export log records. This logging is NOT shared with Known Keep in any way. This is logging for your use, not ours.
No Data, Tracking, or Stats Logged or Monitored by Known Keep.
Known Keep tracks NOTHING you are doing with your Windows tasks. The ONLY connection between the application and Known Keep is a license check. That's it. We track nothing about your usage of Visual Task Runner. We analyze nothing. We track nothing. We store nothing on our servers (other than your initial registration info of your name and email address). When we say we track nothing... nothing means nothing... anonymously or otherwise.
Bonus: Great Add-On for Report Runner Batch Users
Do you use Report Runner Batch? Custom Batch-specific icons for those tasks will automatically be assigned to any Report Runner Batch tasks.

Virtual Task Runner is purposefully designed to only allow viewing and executing enabled Windows Scheduled Tasks. This focused functionality is a core security feature that will remain consistent across all future updates. By limiting the scope to these essential operations, we ensure maximum utility while maintaining strict security boundaries - giving administrators peace of mind when deploying the solution.
Your Windows Task Scheduler tasks... accessed and run from your mobile device
Virtual Task Runner, with just a tap, syncs your Windows Task Scheduler tasks to your mobile device.
See last run, next run, previous exit code, or run it on demand at any time.
