# TimelineScheduleMode

A mode of operation for timeline schedule updates.

```
enum TimelineScheduleMode
```

## Overview

A [`TimelineView`](/documentation/SwiftUI/TimelineView) provides a mode when calling its schedule’s
[`entries(from:mode:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/TimelineSchedule/entries(from:mode:)) method.
The view chooses a mode based on the state of the system.
For example, a watchOS view might request a lower frequency
of updates, using the [`TimelineScheduleMode.lowFrequency`](/documentation/SwiftUI/TimelineScheduleMode/lowFrequency) mode, when the user
lowers their wrist.

## Topics

### Getting timeline schedule modes

[`case normal`](/documentation/SwiftUI/TimelineScheduleMode/normal)

A mode that produces schedule updates at the schedule’s natural cadence.

[`case lowFrequency`](/documentation/SwiftUI/TimelineScheduleMode/lowFrequency)

A mode that produces schedule updates at a reduced rate.
