In previous articles, you explored how to schedule shutdowns on a Windows computer with Mytour. In the following post, Mytour will guide you on scheduling a Macbook shutdown.

macOS features a built-in function called Energy Saver. This function puts the user's Macbook to sleep after a period of inactivity, helping to save power and extend the device's battery life. Users can set the duration of inactivity, ranging from a few minutes to even a few hours.

Beyond saving Macbook battery life, the Energy Saver feature is also used for scheduling and automating Macbook shutdowns or putting the device to sleep. If desired, users can schedule the device to automatically sleep, shut down, or restart at any time during the day or week. This article by Mytour will guide you on how to schedule a Macbook shutdown.

Schedule Macbook Shutdown

To schedule a Macbook shutdown, follow these steps:

First, open System Preferences. On the System Preferences window, select Energy Saver, the lightbulb icon in the second row.

On the Energy Saver Preferences panel, click the Schedule button located in the bottom right corner.

A new window will appear on the screen. Here, you can schedule Macbook shutdowns, put the device to sleep, or restart it. There are two options you can activate: Start up or Wake and the Sleep option.

Activate the Sleep option. Open the menu and select either Sleep or Shut down or Restart. Choose the time you want to shut down the Macbook or put the device to sleep. After completing, click OK.

Additionally, you can schedule Macbook startups or wake-ups from sleep. This feature is only useful if the Macbook is connected to power 24/7, preventing users from scheduling startups or wake-ups if the MacBook is charging.

Note: The Energy Saver Preferences window may vary across different versions and models of Macs. If you're using a Macbook, you'll find a Battery tab in the Energy Saver preferences window.

If your Mac is in sleep mode, the scheduled shutdown feature cannot turn off the Mac as planned. In this case, you will need to wake up your Macbook so that the device can shut down according to the set schedule and time.
