Draft Tasks

  2. Click Save as Draft instead of Create Task
  3. Find your drafts in the Drafts section

Scheduled Tasks

Schedule tasks to run at a specific time in the future. Great for planning work ahead or running tasks during off-hours.

Scheduled Task

How it works:

When creating a task, you can choose to schedule it for later instead of running it immediately. Simply select a delay time and your task will be queued to start at that time.

Available schedule options:

  • 15 minutes — Run the task in 15 minutes
  • 30 minutes — Run the task in 30 minutes
  • 1 hour — Run the task in 1 hour
  • 2 hours — Run the task in 2 hours
  • 4 hours — Run the task in 4 hours

How to schedule a task:

  1. Fill out the task creation form
  2. Instead of clicking Create Task, click the dropdown arrow
  3. Select your preferred delay time
  4. The task will be created with "Scheduled" status
  5. When the time comes, the task will automatically start

Use cases:

  • Plan tasks to run during lunch break
  • Queue multiple tasks to run one after another
  • Schedule non-urgent tasks for later

Analytics Page

Track your usage statistics and task history with the new Analytics page.

Available metrics:

  • Total tasks created
  • Tasks by status (completed, failed, in progress)
  • Usage over time
  • Repository statistics

Access the Analytics page from the main navigation menu.


Real-time Agent Monitoring

Watch Claude work on your tasks in real-time with improved visualization.

What you can see:

  • Live code changes
  • File operations (read, write, edit)
  • Agent's thinking process
  • Tool usage in real-time

The improved UI makes it easier to follow along and understand what the agent is doing at each step.
