Sleep scheduler app to put Mac Mini to sleep?

[dorsal]

Energy saver panel no longer has the option to schedule sleep for the Mac. The App store doesn't have anything similar. Is there a third party app out there that does?

Looks like you can still set a schedule in the Terminal:

How to Schedule Your Mac to Shutdown or Reboot in macOS Ventura

It was once easy to schedule a reboot, but macOS Ventura complicates it. Follow Jeff Butts and his command-line jiujitsu to pull it off.

In Terminal:

sudo pmset repeat sleep MTWRFSU 20:00:00

Where MTWRFSU is:

• M=Monday
• T=Tuesday
• W=Wednesday
• R=Thursday
• F=Friday
• S=Saturday
• U=Sunday

The time is for a 24 hour clock.

Awesome! Thanks. The batteries in my track pad wear down fast when the computer stays on all night. Even when the screen goes to sleep.
