TimeMachineEditor is a macOS utility that allows users to customize and override the default Time Machine backup interval. By default, macOS backs up to Time Machine hourly; this app lets users set custom backup schedules—such as every 15 minutes, daily, weekly, or any interval they prefer—without relying on manual backups or third-party scheduling solutions. It's useful for power users and system administrators who want tighter control over backup frequency based on their workflow and storage constraints. The app is lightweight, runs in the background, and provides a straightforward interface for scheduling Time Machine operations.
