Introducing Quiet Hours: Your Agent, On Your Schedule

Introducing Quiet Hours: Your Agent, On Your Schedule

Release: v1.0.20

One of the most common requests since Sidekick launched has been simple: "Can the AI just... wait until morning?"

Starting today, it can.

The Problem With Always-On

An AI that works 24/7 is powerful. An AI that sends Slack messages at 1 AM on a Tuesday is a liability. Until now, Sidekick's agent acted on events as they arrived — which is exactly what you want during the day, and exactly what you don't want at 2 AM when a low-priority GitHub notification comes in and triggers a string of follow-up actions.

The underlying capability was never the issue. The missing piece was scheduling control.

What We Built

Quiet Hours is a configurable time-window system that tells the agent when to hold its outbound actions.

During a quiet window:

  • The agent keeps reading and processing — nothing is missed, nothing is dropped.
  • Any action that would send a message, post a reply, or trigger an automation is held in a queue.
  • The moment quiet hours end, the queue flushes automatically in order.

You wake up to a morning summary of what happened overnight — and the agent's responses go out at a reasonable hour.

Timezone-Aware From Day One

Quiet hours are evaluated against your timezone, not the server's. Set it once in your settings, and the schedule stays accurate whether you're at home or traveling. If you cross time zones regularly, updating your timezone preference is all it takes to keep the schedule aligned.

Staying in Control

The queue isn't a black box. You can visit Activity → Pending Actions at any time to see what's waiting, cancel anything you don't want sent, or manually dispatch an action early if something is time-sensitive — even while quiet hours are still active.

How to Enable It

  1. Go to Settings → Agent Behavior → Quiet Hours.
  2. Toggle it on, set your start and end times, pick your timezone.
  3. That's it.

Quiet hours apply across all your connected integrations automatically. ClawHub skills that use the standard action adapter get the same queuing behavior with no extra configuration.

Quiet Hours ships today in v1.0.20. Check the full feature documentation for details on queued action types, multi-window scheduling, and more.
