Availability and quiet hours

Set the weekly windows when you are happy to be reached, add a nightly quiet block, and understand how daylight saving is handled.

Availability and quiet hours

Your schedule is the engine behind every answer your page gives. It is a recurring weekly pattern, written in your local time, and it never changes on its own.

Weekly windows

Open the Availability tab in the dashboard. Each day of the week gets a toggle and a list of windows. A window is a start time and an end time, like 10

to 20
.

  • Up to 4 windows per day, so you can carve out a lunch break or an afternoon gap.
  • Windows on the same day cannot overlap each other.
  • A window cannot start and end at the same time.
  • Days you leave switched off read as "Unavailable all day".
  • The week starts on Monday, everywhere in the product.

A typical split day looks like this:

Wednesday   09:00 - 12:00
            13:30 - 17:00
            20:00 - 23:00

Windows that cross midnight

Set an end time that is at or before the start time and the window runs past midnight into the next day. This is how late-night availability is expressed.

What you enterWhat it means
Friday 22
to 02
Friday night from 10 PM until 2 AM on Saturday morning.
Saturday 21
to 00
Saturday evening until midnight at the end of that day.
Monday 10
to 18
A normal same-day window.

An overnight window belongs to the day it starts on, so a Friday-night gaming block goes under Friday even though most of it lands on Saturday.

Quiet hours

Quiet hours are a single daily range that applies to every day and wins over everything else. Find them on the Profile tab.

Use them for the block of the night you never want a ping, and stop worrying about whether an overnight window accidentally runs too long. If your Friday window says 22

to 02
and your quiet hours are 01
to 08
, the last hour is simply cut off and your page reports the window as ending at 01
.

Quiet hours can cross midnight too, which is the normal case for a range like 23

to 07
.

Time zones and daylight saving

The zone on your page is where your schedule lives. Everything you type is wall-clock time in that zone, and it stays that way forever.

That is the whole point: "evenings after 8" means your local 8 PM in January and your local 8 PM in July, whatever the clocks did in between. Visitors always see the correctly converted time on their side, so nobody has to do the arithmetic.

An hour disappears from the day. A window from 10

to 18
is still 10
to 18
on your clock; it just happens to last seven real hours that day. If a window would start inside the missing hour, it starts at the closest valid moment instead.

An hour repeats. Your window still runs 10

to 18
on your clock, lasting nine real hours, and the repeated hour resolves to the first pass through it.

Change the timezone on the page. Your windows keep their wall-clock times, so "10

to 18
" becomes 10
to 18
in the new zone. If you wanted to keep the old real-world hours instead, edit the windows after switching.

Yes. Zones like Asia/Kolkata (+05

) and Asia/Kathmandu (+05
) are handled exactly like any other, on both the owner side and the visitor side.

How far ahead your page looks

When you are not available right now, your page finds your next window by searching the next 14 days. If nothing turns up in that time, visitors see "No availability shared" along with your current local time, which is the honest answer when a schedule is empty.
