Can you set an alarm on your computer?
Free Alarm Clock is a freeware program that allows you to set as many alarms as you want on your computer. You can set these up to be one-off alarms or repeating alarms, choosing the days of the week that you wish them to activate. For example, you might only want them to go off from Monday through Friday so that you can enjoy a lie-in on the weekends.
Free Alarm Clock's straightforward interface makes set-up extremely easy. Simply click the Add button and configure the settings for each alarm you create. The program supports an unlimited number of alarms.
You can label your alarms to remind you of the activities you must do at the sound. This is useful, for example, if you're using it as a prompt to perform an exercise or stretch during your working day.
After setting the time for the alarm, you can customize the sound that's played when the alarm goes off – Free Alarm Clock provides a range of mp3 files to choose from. You can even preview the sound before selecting it. The program also offers full access to your music library so you can wake up to your favorite tunes.
You're also in control of how loud the alarm is when it eventually goes off. Free Alarm Clock will set the system volume to a predefined level. The system sound will be turned on and the specified volume will be set. After the sound is played, the initial volume will be restored. Do be aware that as the system volume will be temporarily changed, it may affect other running applications.
Finally, you can activate the alarm to perform various tasks, such as waking up the computer if it is in sleep mode or turning on the monitor. It should also be noted that Free Alarm Clock will not wake up your laptop when the lid is closed, which might be a disadvantage to some users.
When your scheduled alarm eventually goes off, the program will display a notification on your desktop. You have the option of snoozing (delaying) the alarm for a period of your choosing or stopping it. Stopping the alarm will not delete it from your list of programmed alarms so you will be able to reactivate it again at any time you wish. You can also easily edit or delete your scheduled alarms, as well as copy (clone) them.
