Publisher's Description
From Robbie Hanson:
This handy little application runs unobtrusively in the status bar so it won't get in the way and it won't take up space in the dock. Use it to set as many alarms as needed, either one-time alarms or repeating alarms. Then choose anything in the iTunes library to wake to: songs, playlists, even podcasts. The application takes care of the rest, even waking the computer from sleep if needed.
When it's this simple, why even bother with older alarm clocks? With this little application you can wake up to the sounds you want. You can configure your snooze duration to the length you want. You can even increase/decrease your snooze time right from the alarm window. Plus, if you have an apple remote, you can even hit snooze without getting out of bed. And, if waking up to blaring alarms in the morning isn't your cup of tea, there's an "easy wake" option which will gradually increase the system volume over time. And even this is configurable for you!
(Universal Binary)

"Exactly the alarm clock i was looking for on my Mac."
Version: Alarm Clock 2.4.5
Pros
Fully functional free app. Thanks guys and may the Force be with you!
Cons
None that i can think of now!!
-
"Dozens of uses!"
Version: Alarm Clock 2.4.5
Pros
How brilliant to have a timer/alarm built into the desktop--beats lugging my timer around. There are dozens of ways I'll be using it as I tend to get so absorbed in what I'm doing that I forget the time.
Cons
I haven't explored Alarm Clock enough to see if it meets more of my fantasies for a 'perfect app' - it already exceeds my wishes for a freebie.
Summary
Another instance of something simple bringing me so much benefit.

"You MUST have a TIMER,CLOCK on every computer.."
Version: Alarm Clock 2.4.5
Pros
I just got a new iMac with LION OS and with ALL the stuff they have on here(MAYBE I AM missing where to find it) there is no alarm clock!...I know it must be here..well anyway when something's cooking on my stove, I need a timer cause I will smell it start to BURN!..THEN NO DINNER!!..so this is perfect and also I had it on my previous iMac..simple and useful..SIMPLICITY if the key for me, in any APP!
Cons

"What Alarm Clock?"
Version: Alarm Clock 2.4.5
Pros
Not Applicable
Cons
Downloaded Alarm Clock 2.4.5 to my MacBook Pro OSX 10.5 but the application, while looking like it wanted to open... never did.
Summary
I really need a good alarm clock but this one apparently isn't it.
-
"Simple and easy! And free."
Version: Alarm Clock 2.4.5
Pros
1-time and scheduled alarms
Menubar access
Easy to turn of when the alarm goes off
FreeCons
No ability to add notes for when you forget which thing the alarm is going off for. When you have more than a few, you'll need to write their purpose into a text file or something. Not so convenient.
Don't know if author is still supporting it.Summary
If you want a straight-forward and free alarm, this one gets it done.

"Great little program!"
Version: Alarm Clock 2.4.5
Pros
Links up w/ iTunes, EZ to use, Snooze button, Gradual sound build-up (like your clock radio), Stopwatch, Countdown timer.
Cons
Haven't found any.
Summary
Really handy program. Loads automatically and resides in the top bar next to WiFi or Time Machine icons. (sorry new to Mac's and don't know what that bar is called).

"Simple, effective, Einstein would be proud:"
Version: Alarm Clock 2.4.5
Pros
No fancy bells and whistles, easy to learn and deploy.
Cons
None come to mind worth mentioning.
Summary
The developer of this app must have been impressed by the philosophy of "Einstein's Razor" which advised that "everything should be as simple as it can be, but not simpler."
-
"Easy to use"
Version: Alarm Clock 2.4.5
Pros
Obvious, easy-to-understand menus, easy to set multiple alarms.
Cons
Have found none.
Summary
An excellent, simple application if you want a quick alarm clock.

"Amazing and free!"
Version: Alarm Clock 2.4.5
Pros
Does everything I need, sets multiple alarms with choice of sound, wakes Mac from sleep, pop-up on screen, works even when sound is off.
Cons
Couldn't really find any. Being able to name alarms would be fun. Maybe it's possible and haven't found it yet. Just got the app like three minutes ago!
Summary
Everything I dreamed of and more.
