How the scheduler works

Set it once.
Get data forever.

No background process. No app always running. The OS itself triggers the download at exactly 17:30 IST.

01
Open Settings → Scheduler
Enable the toggle, set time to 17:30 IST. NSE closes at 15:30 and data is available by 17:30.
02
Click Save — OS task registered
Mac creates a LaunchAgent. Windows creates a Task Scheduler task. Linux adds a crontab entry.
03
Close the app completely
GetBhavCopy does not need to stay open. The OS manages the schedule entirely on its own.
04
Data arrives, notification sent
At 17:30 the OS launches GetBhavCopy in headless mode. Downloads silently. You get a notification.
05
Machine was off? No problem.
Next scheduler run checks the last 7 trading days and fills any gaps automatically.
Preferences — GetBhavCopy
Enable Scheduled Downloads
Works even when the app is closed — OS handles it.
Download Time

Uses OS-level scheduling — works even when the app is closed. Mac uses LaunchAgent, Windows uses Task Scheduler, Linux uses crontab.
