EC2 Auto Scheduler for AWS
Save AWS costs by auto-starting and stopping EC2 instances
Like a lot of developers running AWS, I was frustrated by leaving EC2 instances running and watching costs pile up. AWS has some options, but I wanted something lightweight and dead simple. So I built EC2 Auto Scheduler for AWS.
What it does:
Lets you pick EC2 instances and set a daily start/stop schedule (local + UTC).
One schedule per server (keeps it simple and reliable).
Uses EventBridge + Lambda behind the scenes.
Logs actions locally so you always see what happened.
Windows desktop app (MSI installer).
No subscriptions — just a one-time purchase.
Why I built it:
I was tired of paying for idle servers, and I couldn’t find an affordable, straightforward desktop tool that just… worked. So I scratched my own itch.
Now I’m curious — would this solve a real pain point for you?
If you manage AWS accounts, do you already solve this differently?
What’s missing that would make this tool a “must-have” for you?
I’d love feedback from anyone here who’s into AWS/devops, or just opinions on pricing/positioning.
