 # Schedule Later
 
-schedule-later is a static class that provides methods for managing date-time based tasks, such as starting timeouts and intervals at a specific time of day. Under-the-hood, it uses `setTimeout` and `setInterval`.

 The `startTimeout` method starts a timeout that calls a given function after a specific delay. The delay is calculated based on the `TimeUntil` object passed to it. The method returns a `StopFunction` (see below).

 The `startInterval` method starts an interval that calls a given function repeatedly with a fixed time delay between each call. Like `startTimeout`, the initial delay is calculated based on a `TimeUntil` object. The method returns a `StopFunction` (see below).
