# Schedule Helper

### What It Is

Schedule Helper is a tool to enable Audio Hijack timers to work as robustly as possible. Without Schedule Helper, timers will only run if your Mac is already awake and Audio Hijack is open. Install Schedule Helper to ensure your timers work robustly.

The Schedule Helper extra is recommended for all who use Audio Hijack's timers functionality.

### Installing

To install Schedule Helper, just click the “Install” button in the Install Extras window.

The Schedule Helper component will be placed in /Library/Application Support/Audio Hijack/. It will also be added to your Login Items.

### Uninstalling

To uninstall Schedule Helper, just click the “Uninstall” button in the Install Extras window.
