Could you please explain in the README why android-crond requires root? I would like to schedule a cron job of a command which can be run as a non-root user. Regular, non-Android Linux lets non-root users create cron jobs so why must I root my phone to use crond?

Honestly I don't remember anymore. Could just be that I needed it to be root anyway, and just didn't want to deal with the complications of running in user mode. If you want something that works, you should maybe try something that is maintained (which this is not, sorry). Maybe Easer or Automate could work for you (didn't seriously try to use either of them)
