Pick a schedule

Choose a ready-made schedule when you add a timer. For anything else, choose Custom times and copy an example.

Times are in UTC. In winter that matches London time. In British Summer Time, 9am UTC is 10am.

Change an example

A schedule has five parts, in this order: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week.

  • * means every.
  • */15 in the minute part means every 15 minutes.
  • 0,30 means at :00 and :30.
  • 8-16 means from 8 to 16.
  • Weekdays run from 0 (Sunday) to 6 (Saturday).

A timer is due at its scheduled time. It can send a little later, and activity and live settings can hold it back.
