Introduction
Power Event Wizard schedules your Mac to start up, shut down, sleep, or wake at set times — and shows every power event already configured, all from a simple interface.
Scheduled power events were built into macOS Monterey and earlier, but the settings page disappeared in later versions. Apple now suggests managing them from Terminal (details here); this app brings that graphical control back.
Privacy
Power Event Wizard collects no personal data. It’s a graphical front end for macOS’s native pmset command — everything happens locally on your Mac, and nothing is sent to any server. Read our Privacy Policy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can I only set two events at most? Can I set more? This app is based on the native command pmset. Per its manual, only two groups of events can be set: one contains wake and wakeorpoweron, the other shutdown, restart, and sleep. Only one command can take effect in each group.
How to validate the configuration? If you don’t want to wait for the time to prove it — especially when you can’t believe the inspection view in this app — open the native System Information app and check Hardware > Power > PowerEvents. It won’t deceive you.
It shows something like “shutdown at 10:00PM Some days” — I want the exact days!
The system itself doesn’t record them: pmset -g sched in Terminal also shows only “Some days”. We could remember the days you pick in this app, but a change made through any other route would then conflict with what we remembered — so we deliberately don’t.
Why is the display inconsistent — “12:00AM” on the Setting page but “00:00AM” on the Inspect page? That’s expected: pmset shows “12:00AM” as “0:00AM” and “12:00PM” as “12:00PM”. There’s normally no “0:00AM” or “0:00PM” in the 12-hour format, but pmset has its own style.
This app messed up my Login Items page — please help!
If you no longer want to use this app, reset your Login Items page with this Terminal command: sfltool resetbtm
