Keeping the office running
Who this is for: an owner who wants the morning briefing to arrive without opening the app by hand.
Agents only work while the app is open. Two settings and one catch-up routine keep that from becoming a problem.
-
Open Settings → Office.
The Launch at login and Keep the computer awake switches —agent/automations/always-on.png -
Switch on Launch at login. The app registers itself with macOS/Windows and starts with your session; agents that were awake come back.
-
Switch on Keep the computer awake while agents are awake on a computer that stays on a desk. It prevents idle sleep while at least one agent runs. The display may still turn off; a closed laptop lid still sleeps the machine.
What happens after the app was closed
Section titled “What happens after the app was closed”| Missed while closed | What the app does on the next start |
|---|---|
| a scheduled job, less than a day late | runs it once, marked Ran late in Activity |

Limits & safety
Section titled “Limits & safety”- Launch at login is an OS setting: if the system’s login items are cleaned, the switch turns itself off at the next start.
- Keep-awake holds a power assertion only while an agent is awake; nothing runs when all agents sleep.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- The app did not start with the computer — check the switch again (the OS may have removed the login item), and on macOS System Settings → General → Login Items.
- A job shows “Ran late” every day — the computer sleeps at that hour; enable keep-awake or move the computer’s sleep schedule.
