-mcron info here
+The @code{(gnu home-services mcron)} module provides an interface to
+GNU@tie{}mcron, a daemon to run jobs at scheduled times (@pxref{Top,,,
+mcron, GNU@tie{}mcron}).  The information about system's mcron is
+applicable here (@pxref{Scheduled Job Execution}), the only difference
+for home services is that they have to be declared in
+@code{home-envirnoment} record instead of @code{operating-system}.
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} home-mcron-service-type
+This is the type of the @code{mcron} home service, whose value is an
+@code{home-mcron-configuration} object.  It allows to manage tasks
+
+This service type can be the target of a service extension that provides
+it additional job specifications (@pxref{Service Composition}).  In
+other words, it is possible to define services that provide additional
+mcron jobs to run.
