Scheduling Summaries

Schedule single-click summaries to run automatically at a time you choose. As long as Pieces is open and running on your computer, the summary will generate at the scheduled time and appear in your Pieces Timeline.

Scheduling is available for all built-in summary types except *Custom Summary*. Hover over a summary card on the homepage and click `Schedule this summary`, or use the schedule option on the summary card. The schedule modal opens for that summary type. Select **Daily** to run every day, or **Weekly** to run on specific days of the week. For weekly schedules, select one or more days (e.g., Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr for weekdays). Pick a time from the preset options (6 AM, 8 AM, 9 AM, 12 PM, 5 PM, 9 PM) or choose **Custom** to set a different time. Review the summary message (e.g., "Runs weekdays at 08:00 AM") and click `Schedule` to save. The summary will run automatically at the set time whenever Pieces is open and running. Scheduled summaries only run when Pieces is open and running on your computer. If Pieces is closed at the scheduled time, the summary will not generate.
