Description
LaunchD Task Scheduler is a very simple to use and intuitive task scheduler for your Mac. It Creates, Edits and Delete Tasks. Don't just take my word for it, read my reviews!
Advantages over other apps:
* Automatic detection of Automator jobs, perl, python, ruby, workflow scripts and more!
* Other apps do not allow editing, only creation of tasks!
* Great FAQ and quick expert tech support
* No need to log out or restart to start or remove a task
* Unlike other apps this places the files in the correct location, there are no further steps required
This app can start an app, command or script automatically at any schedule you choose and has many advanced features.
It can run tasks based on Mac events and will even restart a task on the event of a crash.
The UI is simple to use and can quickly create a task but it is also backed with complex features if required. Such as the ability to have tasks run with I/O priority reduced and nice levels.
This app makes configuration of LaunchD a breeze.

Great tool & support
worth every penny.
INCONSISTANT
Sometimes this app launches a scheduled job and sometimes it doesn’t. Web site offers no help. Very inconsistant results.
Some bumps for the novice
If you are not in the habit of using plist files from the Library, it may be confusing about when things run properly and when they don't (e.g. if you use arguments that need to be changed each month, you need to edit the plist). It is a good program for initially constructing launch agents (as opposed to typing in raw code with keystroke errors), but it is easier to edit the programs once created with something like FaR (if you run a bunch of them) or the text edit. It does what it says on the box just fine and is a useful tool.
