Scheduled Tasks

Configure recurring background jobs: file-index rebuilds, GetComics scraping and auto-download, Metron series sync, and reading-list sync.
Every time on this page — the fields below, “Next” and “Last run” — is shown in UTC, the fixed offset set via Settings → Personalization. It is a fixed offset, so it does not follow daylight saving. Jobs are stored and triggered in UTC.

Current server time: — UTC — UTC host clock: UTC
If “Current server time” does not match the clock you are reading this on, your offset is wrong and every schedule will fire that far out. The offset is fixed and does not follow daylight saving, so a zone that observes it needs a different value in summer than in winter — US Central, for example, is UTC-05:00 from March to November and UTC-06:00 the rest of the year.

Index & Sync Management

Manage the application's file search index stored in SQLite. The index provides fast searching across your entire library.

How it works: The file index is stored persistently in the database and automatically updates when you move, rename, or delete files. You can manually rebuild it or schedule automatic rebuilds to ensure data accuracy.

Index Status:
Checking...
Last Rebuild:
Checking...
Next Scheduled:
Not scheduled
Manually rebuild the entire file index. This scans all files in your data directory and updates the database. Use this if search results seem outdated.
Automatic Rebuild Schedule

Configure automatic file index rebuilds to keep your search results up-to-date.

GetComics Scrape Index Schedule

Pre-populate the GetComics scrape index by scraping sitemap URLs for tracked series. The scrape index stores page titles, issue info, and download links locally so future wanted-issues searches don't need to hit GetComics live.

Automatic Series Sync Schedule

Configure automatic syncing of tracked series from Metron API to check for new issues.

Time of day to run the sync (in UTC).
Metron often adds credits hours after a comic ships, so files tagged on release morning can end up with no creators. This re-checks recently tagged files and fills them in — existing tags are kept.
GetComics Auto-Download Schedule

Automatically search GetComics for wanted issues (with today's release date or later) and queue downloads.

Weekly Packs Enabled: Individual issue auto-download is disabled because Weekly Packs is enabled. Manage Weekly Packs
