Like this (starting with "Otherwise, to loop…"):

Loop for X Seconds and/or Cancel Macro After X Seconds?

You could have a macro triggered by Sleep with action Cancel All Macros. Otherwise, to loop for N seconds, do something like: Set Variable Start to Calculation NOW() While calculation NOW() - Start < 5*60 Do stuff Keyboard Maestro Actions.kmactions (1.4 KB) [image]

You need to put whatever you are doing within the loop, where the Do Stuff comment is.

Here a working example of @peternlewis' macro:

[demo] While Loop.kmmacros (2.7 KB)

To run the demo macro press F1, or, if you have KM 8.0.3, press ⇧⌘R in the KM Editor while the macro is selected.

What you have to do:

• Replace the Speak Text action with your actual looping actions.
• In the calculation replace the "10" with the duration you want. For example 30 minutes is 1800 (seconds); you can also write 30 * 60
• Read a bit in the KM Wiki, for example this article.
