Mac OS X, Objective C: Schedule daily method execution

I am trying to find a means of scheduling a method call on a daily interval at a specified time. For example, every morning at 3am.

NSTimer and similar functionality is provided that allows you to schedule tasks after a specified duration but it would be nice if there is a way to schedule at a time, rather than after a time period expires.

Can anyone give me some advice on how to do that?

It's always nice to look through class docs before asking a question on Stack Overflow. NSTimer documentation says there's a method:

- (id)initWithFireDate:(NSDate *)date interval:(NSTimeInterval)seconds target:(id)target selector:(SEL)aSelector userInfo:(id)userInfo repeats:(BOOL)repeats

Let the date be the next morning 3am and the time interval - 24hrs.
