Put it on autopilot
Let the work run itself
19 guides
- See everything that runs on its ownMy Automations lists every scheduled job, recipe schedule, sweep, rule, drip, alarm and scheduled message in one place, so you can spot what is broken and pause anything.
- Act on messages with rulesA rule watches your incoming texts and Gmail, or your sessions, and acts when its condition matches: archive, notify you, reply, forward, or start a session.
- Run a cron job on a scheduleA cron job runs a command, a recipe or an agent session at the times you choose, such as every weekday at 9am, as long as Yardmaster is open.
- Chain steps into a recipeA recipe is a list of steps your agents work through in order, such as gather, check, then report. Save it once and run it whenever you like, or on a schedule.
- Watch, approve and resume a recipe runFollow a recipe step by step, answer its approval steps, pause or cancel it, and pick a failed run back up from where it stopped.
- Make a recipe from a patternPatterns are ready-made recipes for common bigger jobs, such as an audit, a draft that gets critiqued and revised, or work split across parallel agents.
- Set an alarm or reminderType a reminder in plain words, like "every weekday at 7:30 AM stand-up", and Yardmaster rings at that time with Snooze and Dismiss.
- Work in focus blocks with PomodoroPomodoro times focus blocks and breaks for you, chimes between them, can start on a schedule and keeps a tally of your focus time.
- Send yourself a message laterWrite a note to your future self, such as a checklist or a weekly reminder, and Yardmaster puts it in your Inbox at the time you pick, once or on a repeat.
- Trickle a reading list into your InboxA drip holds notes, links and files and releases them into your Inbox a few at a time, on a schedule you choose, instead of all at once.
- Save replies you type oftenQuick replies are saved messages you drop into any chat with Alt+S or send with a number key.
- Catch up on Confluence and Jira with sweepsA sweep checks your Confluence spaces or Jira projects on a schedule and tells you what changed and what needs you. It spends while nobody watches, within limits you set.
- Review pull requests with ReviewerFor people who review code on GitHub: Reviewer lists your pull requests and review requests, drafts a review with AI when you ask, and posts only when you click.
- Find improvement ideas with ProspectorFor people with code projects in Yardmaster: Prospector has an agent read a project and write up concrete improvement ideas, each with evidence and an impact, effort and confidence score.
- Run a team of AI agents with RoundhousePreviewRoundhouse gives a team of AI agents a mission, a lead and a shared ticket board, and asks you before it plans, spends past its budgets or opens a pull request.
- Build software step by step with the Dev PipelinePreviewFor people building software with agents: the Dev Pipeline walks a coding task through plan, review, build, polish and docs, stopping where you want to approve, and ends with a branch ready to merge.
- Turn repeated corrections into House RulesPreviewFor people who correct their agents a lot: House Rules spots the corrections you keep repeating, like "use pnpm", and proposes standing rules you approve.
- Clean up finished worktreesFor people whose sessions work in separate copies of a git project: Yardmaster removes a copy once its work has a pull request, and the Dev Pipeline panel can tidy the rest on a schedule.
- Let Yardmaster tidy away controls you never useAuto-Tidy moves sidebar rows and toolbar buttons you have not used in 30 days out of the way. Nothing is deleted, and anything comes back with one click.
