[feature request] scheduled active state

thesoloist-1 opened this issue 2 years ago · comments

Would be useful if there was an option to set a schedule for when the app is active. For instance I could have the app active during 5:30 am till 12:30pm. After 12:30 the app will be deactivated until the next day.

I guess it can be implemented using crontab, Automator, Apple Script or something like that.

Hmm interesting. Let's say the app is deactivated during sleep and the Mac has a scheduled wake/sleep. And both the Mac and crontab (or something) will be scheduled to wake and activate at 5:30 AM. Would it be able to activate with one of those scripts upon Macs scheduled wake? That way it will unlock the mac right when the mac wakes up.

BLEUnlock can be started/stoped using open /Applications/BLEUnlock.app / pkill BLEUnlock.
Mac can be started/stoped by pmset, caffeinate or sometihing.

Crontab works like a charm 🤘. Thanks for the tip
