Cron scheduling
Schedule routines with standard 5-part cron expressions or simple presets — daily at 8am, weekday mornings, hourly. The Rust scheduler fires jobs at the exact second and enqueues them for execution.
01 / Routines
Set it once. It runs forever. Even while you sleep.
Describe it — it gets built — it runs on schedule — you wake up to the result. It is the same idea as running an AI agent on your Mac without the terminal.

Set it once
A prompt, a schedule, the accounts it can touch. That's the whole setup.
Pick when it runs — every morning, on a webhook, when your Mac wakes — and which tools it can reach: Gmail, Calendar, Slack, the browser. Flip the switches, save, and never touch it again.

Step 03
It runs — even while you sleep.
Every routine you've set lives in one place, each with its schedule and last run. Morning Briefing at 8 AM, a Slack digest in the evening, a weekly reflection on Friday — all firing on their own, all on your Mac.
Every routine · its schedule · its last run
Step 04
Wake up to the result.
Ask how your site did overnight and wake up to a dashboard, not a paragraph: visitors and conversions with their trend, a seven-day traffic chart, the pages pulling their weight — generated by the routine as native widgets. Open it, ask a follow-up, and the whole thread stays on your Mac.

Event-driven triggers
Fire routines on real-world events: Mac wake from sleep, app launch or focus, file-system changes, incoming webhooks, global hotkeys, or the completion of another routine — chaining unlimited automation.
03
Plain-English creation
Describe what you want — "Send me a morning briefing at 8am with my calendar and emails" — and the AI parses it into a full config: name, schedule, connectors, and system prompt. No cron syntax required.

15-recipe template library
15 pre-built, ready-to-customize templates across 8 categories: Morning Briefing, Email Digest, Competitor Watch, Slack Digest, Weekly Report, News Scanner, and more — each with sensible default schedules.
05
Run Now
Run any routine on demand with one click, regardless of its schedule. Perfect for testing before automating or grabbing a report this instant — no waiting for the next scheduled run.
06
Smart queue & retry
Routines run through a single queue with up to 4 executing in parallel, governed by a semaphore. Network-dependent failures auto-retry after five minutes — your automations finish even when the network stumbles.
07
Never-miss catch-up
On app startup and Mac wake, Routines checks whether any scheduled runs were missed while closed or asleep — and runs them retroactively, flagged so you know they ran late. Your 8am briefing still arrives.
08
Beautiful output history
Every run produces a result record with status, content, errors, and timestamps — rendered as rich, specialized cards: summaries, weather, calendars, email digests, news, and charts, organized by date.
Your automations. Your Mac. Your data.
Routines schedules, triggers, and runs every automation on your own Mac, with no server fees and no account to keep. When a step calls a model, that request goes straight from your Mac to your provider. When you want to change how one behaves, here is how to customize a routine on your Mac.
