Time Machine Schedule overview

Are you tired that Time Machine is backing up continuously, while draining system resources and your battery?

Finally a modern macOS app that allows you to schedule your Time Machine backups. For example every weekday at 12:00 and 17:00, and once during the weekend.

You can define a maximum of 5 schedules. And the backup completion status is monitored. So never miss a backup, since Time Machine Schedule will retry automatically.

Time Machine Schedule is the perfect replacement for the macOS time machine status icon. Because it shows the remaining time until the next backup in the Menu Bar. And while creating a backup, the progress and remaining time are visible.

A subscription (it's $3.69 per year) for something that you can do in the terminal for free, or use a simple (though admittedly not as feature-rich) app like Time Machine Editor ( https://tclementdev.com/timemachineeditor/ ) for free? Nah. Thanks, but no thanks.

Great neat little app, does what it's supposed to do. However, the one-time purchase remarks are not correct. You buy a license for one year. After the you have to pay again for using the app for one year. So basically it is a subscription....
