Game Wake

There are plenty of task management apps that can remind you of important events, but they are not very suitable for setting up quick alerts without too much hassle.

Game Wake is a lightweight piece of software that serves as a virtual alarm clock, and it is remarkably simple to configure. It can provide multiple types of alerts, and it features both a timer and counter mode.

Once you have launched the app, you can perform the necessary configurations in no time at all. Just set the alarm time and select the preferred notifications sound, and you are good to go.

If you wish, you can also have the application display a short message when the alert is triggered, as well as flash the main window to draw your attention.

Alternatively, you can switch to the Counter mode and specify after how much time the program should trigger the configured alarm.

After setting up an alert, the application is minimized to the system tray automatically when you close the main window. You can bring it up again at any time and cancel the alarm, but the app will never get in your way.

If you need to use the same alarm frequently, you should be pleased to learn that your configurations can be saved. The application can remember all your settings, so you will not have to set every parameter again every day.

However, it would have been great if it were possible to save multiple configurations and switch between them, as well as set up multiple alerts.

On the whole, Game Wake is a no-nonsense app that is well suited for users who need a basic, easy-to-configure utility for setting up alerts. It does not allow you to create or save multiple alarms, but many users will appreciate its lightweight, novice-friendly design.
