MacroLoop’s schedule is an in-app automation timer, not a cloud service. The app must remain running, and the Mac must be able to interact with the visible desktop when the scheduled time arrives.

01

Why the app must remain available

MacroLoop checks saved schedules and replays mouse and keyboard events locally. Quitting the app removes the process responsible for starting the recording.

02

A short pre-schedule checklist

Connect power when needed, prevent sleep for the relevant period, open the destination application, remove modal dialogs, and confirm Accessibility permission is active.

THE TAKEAWAY

Keep MacroLoop open, the Mac awake, and the destination ready for scheduled playback.
