I want to write a custom alarm for a Mac that awakes the mac from sleep. I think it should be done as the Aurora app seems to do it.
What methods/classes do I need to use?

This can be implemented through IOPMSchedulePowerEvent routine. Unfortunately, the routine requires root access. Authorization to execute privileged operation can be done using the Authorization Services framework. One should read “Authorizing in a Simple, Self-Restricted Application” and “Authorizing in a Factored Application.”.
