Schedule a daily or weekly note

Documented Checked against the CLI's current help and source. Not run end to end. CLI 0.3.1, checked 2026-11-04.

Can it start my daily log for me?

Pick a template, choose a time, and NotesQ puts the schedule in place. Pause it for a holiday and pick it up again after.

What you get: a daily log or weekly review that is set up once, at the time you choose, in your own time zone. You need: NotesQ and a signed-in profile. About 3 minutes.

--at is the local time of day, 24-hour. --tz takes any IANA time zone; leave it out and the schedule uses the time zone of the machine you run it from. --title sets the pattern for each note’s title, and {{date}} is filled in on the day.

--weekly takes a day from mon to sun. --collection files every note the schedule makes into one collection. Schedules are yours alone by default; --scope org makes one for the whole organisation.

A paused schedule has no next run. Resuming it puts the next run back.

Each schedule is stored on your Quox, not on your machine, so it does not depend on your terminal staying open. Next run (UTC) is the time it is due next, shown in UTC whatever time zone you chose. This guide covers setting schedules up and managing them; we have not recorded a scheduled run on this page yet.

quox notes schedule ls shows every schedule, its state and its next run.
