Alarm Clock Program

F

Frank Rizzo

Hello,

I am looking for a simple Alarm Clock program for my PC.
I want to set several alarms (e.g. 11:20am, 2:30pm, etc...) and then the
program must get out of my way. It should be heard when needed, not
seen. I don't it minimized in the taskbar, just gone out of my way
(maybe it can be in the system tray). And I must be able to set the
sound that it plays when the alarm is supposed to ring. I've looked all
over but can't seem to find something so simple. Additional bonus if it
has a countdown timer.

Thanks

This might work well for you: Kana Reminder.

It's free and will also let you record your own voice files if
you don't like the default alarm sounds. I use it to tell me
when to take which meds daily. Never used the countdown, but it
has that also.

HTH,

Dude, you are the man! That's exactly what I was looking for as far as
features go. Now, we'll see how well it works.

I use Windows scheduled task for my alarm clock.I have it set to play an
mp3 at 7:00 every morning and it wakes my laptop from hibernation . I use
realplayer for this task but Winamp would probably work and you could have it
run in the tray.
Any wav. file would work too, but I prefer to wake to music.
