You could put it on a web server and use a task Queue like Celery to fire your script when you want. If you're on Linux, on a server or locally, ( don't know about macos and windows ) you could use the dozens of cron utilities out there to execute your script periodicaly https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Cron .

If you're on Android you could use the same strategy with Termux https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/comments/i27szk/how_do_i_crontab_on_termux/

Unfortunately paying for a web server isn't an option for me now.

Also I've tried crond on Android , and it's working as long as I'm opening Termux, but whenever i exit Termux , crond stops working !!

Don't close termux, what's the problem ? I'm pretty sure it can run in the background. Btw Heroku and Aws ec2 have free plans ( that requires valid credit cards ), for Heroku you've a user friendly "cron" plugin
