Quick Alarm

Quick Alarm is a lightweight and very easy to understand piece of software developed to help you set reminders for yourself and make sure you never miss an important event, forget to make a phonecall or skip over a meal.

The application features a clean and simple user interface, its main window allowing you to configure the alarms that you need, along with their corresponding preferences.

When you no longer need it, Quick Alarm retreats to the system tray, so it can continue doing its job without interfering with your regular work.

In order to create a new entry, you can just define the number of hours, minutes and seconds after which to be alerted. However, Quick Alarm does feature a number of customizable options, which for instance, allow you to input a message for the notification, to give you a hint as to what you are supposed to do at that specific hour.

Moreover, the utility lets you choose a preferred audio file to act as an alert sound, in the shape of any WAV file from your computer. Quick Alarm also enables you to sound off the notification at a precise hour, on a user-defined day of the week. This can happen once or on a recurring pattern, depending on how you want it.

When hovering with your mouse cursor over the system tray icon, the alert closest in time will be displayed in a tooltip. However, there is no way of viewing other scheduled alarms or of canceling them before they are due to go off.

Overall, Quick Alarm proves to be a useful and reliable program that can successfully assist you in setting up various reminders for yourself, enabling you to be on time for every important meeting and meet all your deadlines.
