You can use NSTimer:

There is (was?) an example of its use to do simple NSBezierPath based  
animation in the example code which was re-written by Gary Byers from  
a broken attempt of mine several years back. Look for the method  
animate-window for the NSTimer based implementation details. I attach  
a somewhat updated version here:
