A Raycast extension that allows users to schedule a timed shutdown for their system, ensuring running tasks can be completed before powering down. I made this for myself because I wanted a simple tool that would automatically shutdown my computer after a period of time. I wanted to simplify scheduling shutdowns so that I didn't need to have an extra terminal window to manage it
