Scheduling Automatic Blocks (Schedule)
You can schedule a block to automatically activate at a certain time and automatically deactivate afterward. This feature is very useful for:
- Limiting game play time (e.g. only openable on weekends).
- Blocking internet during work hours.
- Automatically unblocking during break time.
How to Create a Schedule
- When the Block Options window opens to block a program, find the Schedule section.
- Check the box Enable scheduling for this block.
- Set the Start date/time (when the block activates).
- Set the End date/time (when the block ends).
- (Optional) Check the days you want to repeat: Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat.
- If no days are checked, the schedule applies only once.
- If any days are checked, the schedule repeats every week on those days.
- Click OK.
Viewing the Schedule List
- Choose menu File → Schedules…, OR right-click the tray icon in the corner of the screen and choose Schedules….
- The Schedules window will open, showing all schedules you’ve created.
- You can see columns: Program, Block Type, Start, End, Repeat Days, Enabled, Status.
- Available buttons:
- Delete — Delete the selected schedule (with confirmation).
- Enable/Disable — Activate or deactivate a schedule without deleting it.
- Refresh — Reload the list.
- Close — Close the window.
Important Notes About Schedules
- Schedules keep running even when the main software is closed.
- The service checks schedules every 30 seconds.
- If the schedule is currently active (status "Active"), the block is being applied.
- If the schedule hasn’t started yet (status "Waiting"), the block isn’t active yet.
- If the schedule has already passed (status "Expired"), the block has already been removed.
