The schedule may start correctly while the target interface is unavailable, producing no useful result.
The desktop must be active
Visual playback needs an active, unlocked desktop session; a sleeping or locked Mac cannot present the controls the recording expects.
Prepare the scheduled session
Review macOS power settings, connect power when appropriate, keep MacroLoop and the target app open, and test the schedule while observing it. Restore normal security settings after the job.
Do not trade away security
Do not weaken lock or sleep protection on a shared or unattended Mac. Use background scripting or an API when secure unattended execution is required.
THE TAKEAWAY
A visual schedule requires an available desktop; secure background work needs a different approach.
