Schedule Agent tasks on macOS.

Create one-time or repeating tasks, run them now, pause them, or remove them from Agent settings.

Use scheduled tasks on macOS

Agent scheduled tasks are available on macOS. Save a task to run once, every day, or at a repeating interval while Agent is running.

Scheduled tasks are not available in the current Windows build.

Manage a saved task

Run now

Start the saved task immediately without changing its schedule.

Pause or resume

Temporarily stop future runs, then turn the schedule back on when you are ready.

Remove

Delete a saved schedule you no longer need.

Keep permission choices on scheduled work

Ask before running still applies to scheduled tasks. A scheduled run waits for your approval when it reaches an action covered by that setting.

Screen inspection has its own scheduled-task setting. Enable it only for saved tasks that need to use the visible screen.

Keep LowLighter running. Closing the main window is fine. Choosing Quit stops LowLighter, so scheduled Agent work cannot run until you open the app again.
