Currently the only options I know of for time machine backup is automatic and manual, but I don't want either. I want to be able to schedule time machine to backup at night when I'm sleeping and not during the middle of the day or simply whenever. So my question is how do I put time machine on an automatic schedule?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15
Well then you are stuck aren't you as Apple does not provide a Time Machine scheduler.
So are you saying you only have Apple apps on your mac, what would be the point of that.
Time Machine Editor has been around for years and is perfectly fine.

Why would you want to purchase something when TimeMachineEditor works perfectly well for free?
If I ever had software related problems on my computer Apple immediately blames 3rd party software (software not purchased on the apple store) for what ever the problem is. Therefore I would just assume avoid all non essential 3rd party software.
Then there is Murphy's law where you create, and accidentally delete, or overwrite a document between scheduled Time Machine backups and would be left with no means of that particular document recovery.
My iMac is on from usually 6am until 10:30 pm, and I use no Time Machine scheduler. Approximately, every hour, a Time Machine backup occurs, and because I am using an external SSD as the target device, the backup is done almost always before I notice it in the menu bar. I have never "lost" a document I could not recover from a Time Machine Restore.
Isn't there some other way? Such as a package that can be purchased from the apple store.
If that’s the only way then that answers my question
How do I set time machine to a schedule?
