Experiment Scheduling and Live Feed-Mode Control ​

The app offers two feed modes: the list-based Normal mode and the swipe-based TikTok mode. From the admin website you can:

  • assign different participant groups to different modes,
  • change a group's mode while the app is running — the switch reaches every participant in that group within seconds, with no reinstall or restart, and
  • plan mode switches ahead of time instead of flipping them by hand at awkward hours (e.g. "group A switches to TikTok every day at 07:00").

One-Off and Recurring Switches ​

You can schedule two kinds of mode switch:

  • One-off — a single switch at a specific date and time.
  • Recurring — a daily pattern over a date range, e.g. Normal mode from midnight and TikTok mode from 07:00 each day.

INFO

All times are interpreted in UTC, so a scheduled switch happens at the same absolute moment regardless of where participants are located.

Creating and Managing Schedules ​

You create one-off and recurring schedules from the user-group admin page, see a list of upcoming switches with their status, and can cancel them. Cancelling a recurring schedule cancels its still-pending switches but keeps the ones that already happened on the record.
