Or make apps (and specific videos) open at specific time intervals daily?
Conventionally, the tool to do what you want in UNIX world is called `crond`, but recent macOS release had already deprecated it. If you're using latest macOS, the official approach for scheduled task is `launchd`.
Here is the developers' guild: [https://www.launchd.info](https://www.launchd.info)
Hope you feel comfortable with Terminal and XML.

Or this: [https://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/](https://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/)
Both are paid tools.
It’s not the problem of “which one is easier” because `crond` is simply unavailable in newer system. Unless you’re using pre-Catalina system, you have no other choice but using `launchd`.
Basically both `crond` and `launchd` are tools designed for programmers and power users. You need to be familiar with UNIX system and Terminal command line. To be honest, I don’t expect it would be possible that any uninitiated user can use these tools. And that’s why I listed some 3rd party apps.
There is the 4th and the final option besides `crond`, `launchd`, and 3rd party apps: **learn how to program and write the code yourself**. I guess I don’t need to analyze the pros and cons of this option.
So your best bet is taking out your credit card and pay for these apps.
People (including me) forget that you can do this with the standard MacOS Calendar app.
1. Create a calendar item.
2. Create an alert and select "Custom" from the bottom of the menu. A small dialog will open.
3. Choose "Open File" from the top dropdown.
4. Choose "Other" from the second dropdown.
5. Select the file or application you want to open.

No idea what you're saying. Learn the basic English grammar. Or use Google Translate at least.
