Automatically open and close any app at set times — and keep your Mac awake and the screen from locking with the built-in Mouse Jiggler.
Free · No account needed · No tracking · macOS Ventura or later
You start work, open Slack, Spotify, your reports. You finish work and close them all. Every day. Same apps. Same times. It's not a workflow — it's a ritual you do on autopilot. Let a machine handle it.
Slack, Mail, and your daily report open automatically at 9 AM. Your Mac is ready before you finish your coffee.
Work apps close at 6 PM. Spotify stops at midnight. You stop having to "close everything" before sleep.
Not just apps — schedule any file to open. Have your weekly planning spreadsheet appear every Monday at 9 AM.
Enable the Jiggler and your screen stays on, the lock screen never kicks in, and your Mac stays active all day.
Two modes to keep your Mac awake and prevent the screen from locking — without touching the mouse.
Posts a real mouse event every 15 seconds — completely invisible. Your screen stays on and the lock screen never triggers.
Moves the cursor naturally across the screen with randomised pauses. Automatically stops when you touch the mouse and resumes 2 seconds after you stop.
Three steps. Takes under a minute.
Click the menu bar clock → Add Schedule → Choose any app or file from your Mac using the Finder picker.
Choose an open time, a close time, or both. Each entry is completely independent — different times, different apps.
App Scheduler sleeps in the background and fires at the exact moment. Zero CPU usage. Nothing to maintain.
Most schedulers poll every few seconds. App Scheduler calculates the exact moment of the next event and sleeps until then. No wasted CPU cycles, no battery drain. It wakes up, fires, and sleeps again.
Two built-in modes prevent your screen from locking and keep your Mac active. Subtle mode is completely invisible. Human mode moves naturally and steps aside the moment you touch the mouse. Enable it and forget about it.
Add as many entries as you want. Each has its own app, its own times, its own pause state.
HH:MM:SS countdown shows exactly when the next event fires and what it will do.
Pause one schedule without touching the others. Or pause all at once with a single button.
Optional alerts tell you when an app has been opened or closed — so you always know what happened.
Enable it once and App Scheduler starts automatically when you log in. Your schedules run from the first second.
Glass UI with mesh gradients, SF Symbols, and sidebar navigation. Looks at home on macOS Sonoma and Sequoia.
No internet connection needed. No analytics, no telemetry, no account. Your schedule data stays entirely on your Mac.
All shortcuts are fully customizable via Settings → Shortcuts.
This app is free and open source — built and maintained in my spare time. If it saves you a few minutes every day, consider buying me a coffee. It helps keep the project alive and motivates future updates.
