Smart Schedules
Launch a profile automatically on the days and time you choose.
This feature is part of FluidZones Premium.
Set a time and days, and FluidZones launches the profile for you, with a heads-up beforehand.
Create a schedule#
- On the profile's row in the sidebar, press Schedule.
- Turn the toggle on and choose the time: step it in 15-minute increments, use a preset (7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 12:00, 17:00) or click the time to type an exact minute.
- Pick the days of the week.
- Save. The row shows a badge with the summary, for example "Mon-Fri 9:00", or Paused if the toggle is off.
To edit, click the badge. To remove it, use Remove schedule.
What happens at the time#
Ten minutes before, a notification offers Launch now, Snooze 15 min and Skip today. If you do nothing, the profile launches on time.
- If you are in a call or have a full-screen app in front, the launch waits until you are free (up to 2 hours), then launches or tells you it was skipped.
- It is not a strict clock: if your Mac was asleep, the profile still launches when it becomes usable within 2 hours of the scheduled time. While the screen is locked nothing launches; it catches up right after you unlock.
Tips and limits#
- FluidZones has to be running. Turn on Open at login so schedules can fire after a restart. The schedule editor warns you if it is off.
- Allow notifications in macOS to see the heads-up. The editor warns you if they are off.
- Without Premium, Schedule shows a lock and opens the trial prompt.
