- Alarm is an easy-to-use but full-featured alarm system for Windows. It allows the user to set an
- unlimited number of alarms with reminder notes attached to them. Alarms may be scheduled to
- recur at pre-defined (or post-defined) intervals. Its install program will place its icon in your
- startup group.
-
- The program also features a SNOOZE interval function, and the ability to modify an existing
- alarm. It uses Windows multimedia capabilities to play customizable sounds (WAV, MID, and
- AVI) for alarms, and can also launch programs.
-
- Some of the features in Alarm that may be of interest include:
-
- * Recurring alarms: Once, daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly, annually, and custom recurrence
