# Digests in WireCat Desktop (/en/docs/desktop/digests)

A digest is one short page that says what came in and what waits for you, built from your chats, mail, meetings and
tasks. The **Digests** page in WireCat Desktop sets them up: when each one runs, what it reads, where it sends, and how
much it may spend. When it is done, you get a digest every morning or every week without asking your agent. Claude Code
writes each digest, so the page needs Memo and Claude Code. If Claude Code is missing, the page offers **Install it in
Agents**.

Digests is marked beta: you see a β beside its name. The section is new and lightly tested.

![The Digests page: Daily digest, Weekly digest and Create your own above a table of three digests with their schedule, sources, routes and last run](/screenshots/desktop/docs/digests-light-en.webp)

## Create a digest [#create-a-digest]

Under **New digest**, pick **Daily digest**, **Weekly digest** or **Create your own**, and click **Set up**. The
dialog **Create digest** asks for:

- **Title.** A second digest from the same template gets its own name, such as "Weekly digest 2".
- **Times** and **Days:** one or more times a day, every day or on the days you pick. The table then reads, for
  example, "Twice a day: 08:30 and 18:00" or "Weekdays at 09:00".
- **Takes from:** the sources to read. With none picked, it reads every connected source.
- **Instructions** (optional): what to look for, in your words.
- **Cost limits:** at most this much for one run, and for one day.
- **Run it on schedule.**

Click **Create**.

## The table [#the-table]

Each digest shows its **Name**, **How often**, **Takes from**, **Sends to**, its last **Run** with what it cost and the
next one, and an **On schedule** switch. **Other schedules** below lists other jobs Memo runs on a timer, such as the
mail agent, and where to change each.

## One digest [#one-digest]

Click a digest to open it.

- **Get now** makes one at once. It first says what it will cost about. Its menu can show it only here or send it to
  one route.
- **Put on schedule** or **Take off schedule**.
- **Settings:** the same fields as when you created it, plus **Sends it to** (a Telegram bot or mail) and what it
  spent today.
- **What to collect:** your instructions for what goes in.
- **How it looks:** the template for **Telegram**, **Email** and **Plain text**, with a **Preview** of what would be
  sent. **Reset to default** brings back the original.
- **Build past days** builds the digests of days before you set it up, so you can read them in the app. It says the
  price first. Those days are not sent anywhere, and the list marks them "built later".
- **More** has **Remove digest**.

The days you have are listed beside it. Click one to read it.

## When a digest is ready [#when-a-digest-is-ready]

While WireCat runs, a new digest shows one notification. A `wirecat://` link to a digest, for example from a message
an agent sent you, opens it on this page.

## Next [#next]

Connect a Telegram bot or mail on the Tools page to get digests there, then set **Sends it to**.
