Perfect Alarm Clock

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009

This boldly named alarm-clock application may lack some ideal features, but for free, it gets the job done. The interface isn't particularly elegant, but its blue color scheme at least deviates from the standard grey-box formula. Perfect Alarm Clock lets you set as many alarms as you like, either on a one-time, daily, or weekly basis. You can configure the program to play an audio file or launch an application, but it doesn't have any built-in chimes or sounds. Nor can it pop up a reminder box that tells you what it is you're supposed to do. Simple, yet free and functional, the program will suit users looking for a no-frills alarm clock.

Publisher's Description

From Celescom:

Perfect Alarm Clock enables you to set an infinite number of alarms, triggering them on a one-time, daily, or weekly basis. Perfect Alarm Clock not only plays any audio file you specify: MP3, WMA, OGG, but also can be used as a scheduler, to launch any application at a specified time. The program's user-friendly interface makes the operation very easy. Setting an alarm is as easy as selecting a file to play, selecting the alarm type and time, adding remarks (optional), and adding the alarm to the alarms list. You can further test each alarm item, for example to adjust the speaker volume. Perfect Alarm Clock minimizes to tray and runs in the background, occupying no space on your desktop, and using minimal system resources, no CPU usage, and only about 1MB memory usage.

    "adequate but crashes"

    December 21, 2009  |   By DynV

    Version: Perfect Alarm Clock 1.0

    Pros

    Very nice interface, intuitive and with good design. Can queue playlists.

    Cons

    Will sometime (more than exceptional but not often) crash after launching after executing (launching, loading) the audio file so you're playing russian roulette if you're using this as a real life alarm and snoozing, like I do.

    Summary

    I'd given it between 2 and 3 stars, crashing more than exceptionally is mediocre but the otherwise good quality of the software make it bearable.

    "didn't work for me"

    December 13, 2009  |   By CaseyAzalea

    Version: Perfect Alarm Clock 1.0

    Pros

    I didn't really end up using it at all so I can't say anything positive about it.

    Cons

    The alarms just didn't work, nothing happened at all when they were supposed to come on. Added to the fact that you lose all the alarm settings if the program is turned off, I didn't bother trying to get it to work, I just uninstalled it.

    Summary

    Was not what I was looking for and didn't work for me. I'm still looking for a replacement for the original version of AlfaClock; this isn't it.

    "Just What The Doctor Ordered!"

    October 16, 2009  |   By Hunnymonsta

    Version: Perfect Alarm Clock 1.0

    Pros

    To remind me twice a day to take the tablets that are destroying my memory this is just perfect.

    Cons

    I still have to take the..... ummmm.... errr....

    Summary

    Sorry? Where am I and who are you again?

    "Could be the best if it saved alarms"

    July 15, 2009  |   By bspier

    Version: Perfect Alarm Clock 1.0

    Pros

    Will fire up anything. Easy to use interface

    Cons

    No default alarms. You need to find and assign one. Also I needed to configure WMP to run the wav file rather than Quicktime.
    PLEASE - make this thing save settings!!

    "Great program but needs save option"

    January 30, 2009  |   By wildsrv

    Version: Perfect Alarm Clock 1.0

    Pros

    This is a good program, it does what it says. I have not tried the option to run a program but it seems to simply launch windows media player or what every the default audio program is to play the file you select.

    Cons

    NO SAVE OPTION, that is the only thing i strongly dislike about this program, the author did a well job on every thing but failed to make an option to save any alarms you have set.

    Summary

    Over all this is a good program and had the author made a save feature in this i believe it would be one of the best, if not the best. I have many alarms set and as i travel with my laptop i loose them every time i shut down my computer.

    "Just what I was looking for."

    September 12, 2007  |   By lau_ash

    Version: Perfect Alarm Clock 1.0

    Pros

    It's free as promissed. Most importantly, it allows for as many alarms as you want on whatever day and time you want. You can attach you're own music or sounds.

    Cons

    It doesn't appear to have any standard sounds, if you down have your own music or sound files you would have to get some.

    "Would have given it a 5, except for a couple of features..."

    August 22, 2007  |   By jbakel

    Version: Perfect Alarm Clock 1.0

    Pros

    The software is great, We homeschool our son and this little clock allows us to have a "Bell" for each class. It's great because it inspires our son to work against the clock and keep his focus. It is also handy, because it reminds us to go get our daughter from public school ;o) Very useful.

    Cons

    There are two things that I wish this softare had...

    1. the ability to save your alarms. Setting alarms to ring after every class and before each class is something that I don't want to do each time I accidentally close the program.

    2. I wish it had a text editor that would "Pop-up" a text reminder to let me know what the alarm is for.

    I liked what it said it could do; not what it did.
