Is there a task scheduler on GNOME? (programming.dev)

Apparently gnome-schedule is quite old and unmaintained. I want to help a friend with this and it shouldn't be a commandline option, has to be GUI. Something like kcron, task scheduler on KDE.

The system has a root account but they don't allow you to use it. However there is an admin account with more privileges.

Though it seems editing crontab will work for them, since it will be a one time thing unless they reinstall the system.

What distro is this (based on)?

It's based on Debian, but has its own repos only.
