Scheduled access

Schedule types

Daily, weekly, monthly, date-range, and cron windows — and picking the right one.

Updated 2026-07-11

A schedule defines the windows during which an item can be opened. Five types cover most needs:

Daily

A time span every day — e.g. 09:00–17:00. Good for "working hours only" credentials.

Weekly

Chosen days of the week, each with a time span — e.g. Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00. The classic guard for production deploy keys.

Monthly

Chosen days of the month — e.g. the 1st, 09:00–09:30. Useful for once-a-month rituals: checking a savings login, rotating a key.

Date range

An absolute open-from / open-until pair. Before (or after) the range the item is sealed. Use it for "not before January 1st" letters or handover documents.

Cron

An advanced rule using cron syntax with a duration, for anything the other types can't express.

Notes

  • Windows are evaluated against the server clock in your chosen timezone.
  • Items on the Solo plan can have up to 5 schedules active; Pro and Team are unlimited.
  • Changing or removing a schedule is itself an audited event — and removal takes effect through the same server-side process, not instantly in the UI.
