Does taskiq suport local scheduling when devices are offline?

[samirbhattarai135]

Can I use Taskiq for scheduling tasks when:

• Device must work offline
• Tasks are local (render to screen, not distribute)
• Single device, no horizontal scaling
• Schedules need local persistence ?

Taskiq can work without an internet connection, but there are a few distinctions for your use case.

InMemoryBroker runs tasks locally, without a network broker. However, it is primarily intended for development and doesn't provide durable task storage.

Taskiq's scheduler is separate from task execution: it reads schedules from a ScheduleSource and sends tasks to a broker.

For persistent offline schedules, you could implement a custom ScheduleSource backed by a local SQLite database. On startup, it would load the saved schedules. However, that alone doesn't make pending task messages durable across crashes.

Since you have a single device, no distributed execution, and UI rendering tasks, I would also evaluate a simpler local scheduler backed by SQLite.

If you stay with Taskiq, make sure UI updates are dispatched through the application's main UI thread and explicitly define how missed executions are handled after a restart.

So yes, offline scheduling is possible, but the complete persistence and recovery behavior would need to be designed separately.
