Task Scheduler

IMPORTANT: The current version requires macOS 14.0 or later. A compatibility update for macOS 12.4 and later is planned for the near future.

Task Scheduler for macOS — Rev 1.2

Task Scheduler is a simple macOS utility for creating, managing, and running scheduled tasks without having to work directly with Terminal commands, launchd, or plist files.

The application provides a clear visual interface where you can create a task, choose what should run, define when it should run, enable or disable it, run it manually, and review its execution history.

Current capabilities

• Run an application, script, file, or website
• One-time schedules
• Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly schedules
• Run at Login
• Optional repeating intervals in minutes or hours
• Run Now
• Enable / Disable tasks
• Edit and delete tasks
• View the next scheduled run
• Per-task execution history
• Import and export Task Scheduler tasks
• Background execution while the main Task Scheduler window is closed
• Simple task list showing schedule, next run, and status

Task Scheduler uses macOS background scheduling so scheduled tasks can continue to run while you are logged in, even when the main application window is closed.

The application is designed to make task scheduling on macOS straightforward and easy to understand. You do not need to manually create LaunchAgent files, edit plist files, or use Terminal commands.

Current release

Rev 1.2

Task Scheduler is released and functional. Future revisions will continue to improve compatibility, usability, task management, and additional features.

Support for viewing existing macOS LaunchAgent and LaunchDaemon tasks is also planned so users can more easily see tasks that already exist on their Mac.
