Simply Alarming provides the tools to let you set an alarm or run a countdown timer so that you don't miss important deadlines and events. Configure your own set of alerts to trigger when the alarm goes off to be sure it grabs your attention. And, if you upgrade, you can save your settings so you can reuse the same alarm again and again.

This app features a detailed interface that can be a little clunky until you get the hang of it. There are seven sound options to choose from, and you can also decide whether you'd like the settings window to automatically display when the alarm goes off or not. In addition to an alert sound, you can also specify whether you'd like a splash message, which turns the entire screen orange, a pop-up message box, or a balloon tip to display from the taskbar at the same time that the alarm sounds. To set your alarm, choose either a specific time of day in the alarm row, or specify an amount of time in the countdown timer row, and then just hit the timer button to run your alarm, or click the disk icon to save your settings.

This app is free to download and experiment with, but if you want to unlock all features like the ability to save your settings or select your alarm sounds, you'll have to upgrade for $2.95, which is something of a drawback. Overall, this app functions the way it's supposed to, but it doesn't offer much that other alarm and timer apps don't.
