Command Scheduler ⏰

This extension allows you to schedule any Raycast command to run automatically at specific times or intervals. Perfect for automating repetitive tasks, running periodic checks, or executing AI commands on a regular basis.

Flexible Scheduling Options

• One-time: Run a command once at a specific date and time
• Interval-based: Execute commands every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or hourly
• Daily: Run commands at the same time every day
• Weekly: Schedule commands for specific days of the week
• Monthly: Execute commands on a particular day of each month
• Custom Cron: Use cron expressions for complex, highly specific schedules

Schedule Management

• View & Filter: See all your scheduled commands with filtering by schedule type
• Enable/Disable: Easily toggle commands on or off without deleting them
• Edit Schedules: Modify existing scheduled commands anytime
• Execution Logs: Track when commands run and view any errors

Creating a Scheduled Command

Schedule Types

Type	Description	Example Use Cases
One-time	Execute once at a specific date and time	Meeting reminders, deadline alerts
15/30 minutes	Run every 15 or 30 minutes	AI model checks, quick status updates
Hourly	Execute every hour	System monitoring, regular backups
Daily	Run at the same time every day	Morning briefings, daily reports
Weekly	Execute on specific days of the week	Weekly summaries, maintenance tasks
Monthly	Run on a specific day each month	Monthly reports, billing reminders
Custom Cron	Use cron expressions for complex schedules	"Tuesdays and Fridays at 9 AM", "Every 2 hours on weekends"

Troubleshooting

Command Not Executing?

1. Check if the command is enabled in your scheduled commands list
2. Verify the deeplink is correct by testing it manually in Raycast
3. Review execution logs for error messages

Permission Issues?

Some commands may require permissions that need to be granted when they first run. Check the execution logs for permission-related errors.

Viewing Logs

Use "View Execution Logs" to see:

• When commands were executed
• Success/failure status
• Error messages for failed executions
• Command execution history
