DocsUsing Fresh News

Scheduled briefings

Build your edition every morning, at a time and on days you choose.

Settings > Schedule builds the briefing at a time and on days you choose.

  • It runs while the app is open. Fresh News has no server, so an asleep or closed computer builds nothing.
  • If the app starts within 20 hours of a missed time, it catches up.
  • It is daylight-saving aware.
  • Every run is logged, with whether it succeeded and why not.
  • Writing stories on a schedule is a separate opt-in, so a schedule never spends provider credit unless you ask it to.

On iPhone you can set a separate local reminder: see Phone and sync.
