Alarm

When the amount of work you need to do leaves you wondering is time is on your side, it's possible to miss any important events, because your memory is not always trustworthy. Luckily, various applications like Alarm give you the possibility to set reminders at any given time so that no task or event is missed, or simply be reminded that it's lunch time.

Running the application brings up a pretty compact main window, but fitted with all necessary features that can almost literally get you up and running. It only takes about 1 Mb of space on your hard disk drive and system resources used are not something to worry about.

With only a few mouse clicks you are able to set the exact time when an event is to take place, hitting the “Set Alarm” button putting the process in motion.

Having seen the application's core function is to track time and warn you regarding and important task or event, it comes equipped with an alarm clock's features.

There are three alert types to choose from. You are able to set the main window to be brought up, play a sound and have you acoustically alerted, or both features at once.

A text field is put at your disposal so that a message is displayed once the specified time runs out, so that you know what is happening. Some of the most commonly used sound formats can be used to alarm you.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Alarm is nothing more than what the name suggests. It's easy enough to use and can be set to spend most of its time hidden in the system tray and only be brought up when the timer reaches 0. If you consider your memory is not a trustworthy partner, give this little tool a try, it proves to be quite useful.
