<p>Is there a service or upcoming feature which lets you send Bitcoins to an address over a duration of time? I can write a script myself to send 1mbtc every day to an address and leave it running on my computer/server. But I was wondering if there was a service that does this already? Or can smart contracts do this, if so which one? </p>

If it was a recurring payment in small amounts, you might also consider [Micropayment Channels](https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-guide#micropayment-channel), so that the feels were not prohibitive. For larger, monthly or yearly transactions, though, the fees paid to the miners may not be as noticeable.
