The When Automation Tool

This document describes the new version of When, a Python-based automation tool for the desktop. This version, instead of incorporating the scheduler, relies on the whenever core, which focuses on reliability and lightweightness, while trying to achieve a good performance even when running at low priority. In this sense, When acts as a wrapper for whenever, both providing a simple interface for configuration and an easy way to control the scheduler via an icon sitting in the tray area of your desktop. This version of When aims at being cross-platform, dynamically providing access to the features of whenever that are supported on the host environment.

When development is hosted on GitHub.
