Need an extra reminder for tasks or events? Desktop Alarm Clock from UT Bay is a free Windows utility that instructs your PC to sound an alert at a user-specified time, just like, well, an alarm clock.
The lightweight app needs no installation. Just run it after download and you're ready to go. Setting the alarm couldn't be easier. Pick the alarm sound from any audio file already in your computer or leave a note to yourself regarding the alarm. The small interface can be located anywhere you want it on your screen. You may even opt to hide it, and it will sit unobtrusively on the system tray and reappear only when the alarm goes off.
Desktop Alarm Clock is a nifty little application that can be very useful for individuals who get too engrossed working on their PCs. It's free, easy to use, and could save you from making excuses about being late. The application installs and uninstalls cleanly.
Publisher's Description
From UT Bay:
Free Windows Desktop Alarm Clock--very small and fast standalone application. It does not require any registration for download, decompression or installation. Just download it and run it. It takes around 0% of the processor time (you can check it with Ctrl+Alt+Del in your Task Manager) and almost nothing from your system memory. You can set the alarm and hide it in the system tray to free the screen space as well. It will pop up automatically when the alarm goes on.
What's new in this version: Version 2.15 adds option to loop the alarm.

"Malware: Avoid"
Version: Desktop Alarm Clock 2.15
Pros
None, none whatsoever.
Cons
Installs unwanted programs on your computer without the ability to opt out by unchecking a box.
Summary
The makers of this program must have decided they wanted to make some money on the free software so they added a bunch of adware. Right after install a page popped up for a third party software to install an add-on in Firefox. I always run Malwarebytes after installing this sort of free software and it found 5 trojans and other malicious items. I checked my programs and features and found three new programs that I never would have installed. Avoid this and find another free desktop alarm clock

"An alarm clock is .............. an alarm clock ......."
Version: Desktop Alarm Clock 2.15
Pros
......and this one is one of the best. It's simple but it does what it says. It's easy to set, easy to turn off and you can give it what ever alarm sound you like. I like!
Cons
Just a pity it can't be resized - I'd like to have it on my desktop but it's a bit big, and not all that pretty. However, having it in the quick-launch bar makes it very accessible.
Summary
Glad I downloaded it. I use it lots.
