Alarm Clock Pro is a handy application that allows you to set wake-up calls and to automate the execution of computer-related tasks at specific time intervals. Thus, the tool goes beyond setting classic sound alarms meant to wake you up or to announce upcoming events. The program will enable your system to send e-mails and text messages, to take screenshots and webcam shots, to toggle the screensaver and record system entries, as well as to restart, shut down, or put your computer to sleep in your absence.
The interface won't impress you too much – it's just plain simple and easy to use. Actually, that is how it should be, considering that you need to determine the precise periods of time when to receive reminders, hear alarm clocks, and execute computer tasks. For this, you are supposed to configure some simple features first, like the alarm name and type, as well as the time and date to be enabled. Furthermore, the app allows you to set up date exclusions. This feature helps you define specific days when the alarms shouldn't go off. What is more, you can enable private alarms, which won’t be displayed on the alarm list but will still ring at the time you set them up. When all the settings are done, you can check the configuration summary. If some parameters haven’t been set up right, you will see the issues you missed to check at a glance. To have an overview over the alarm events you've set for the current month, you just need to open the Calendar option, and you will see them all at once. Additionally, the program can be used as a countdown timer and as a time zone tracker.
To sum up, Alarm Clock Pro is a neat app that helps you never miss important events that are about to come. In addition, it executes scheduled tasks on your behalf, so that your presence in front of the computer is no longer required. To configure the alarms faster, the program provides you with shortcut keys for each function. Unfortunately, you will need to accept the developers' presets, as you aren't allowed to set them up by yourself.
