Developer’s Description

By Moritz Bartl

plays a loud alarm if A/C adapter is removed from your laptop

Imagine sitting in front of your laptop in an unprotected area (university, library, at work) and you have to leave it unattended for a short period of time. That's where A.L.A.R.M. comes into play. It silently sits in your system tray until you lock your workstation. If now somebody removes the A/C power connection to steal your laptop, A.L.A.R.M. will play a loud sound from your Laptop speakers until power is back again or you have unlocked your workstation. This is not the best theft protection, but better than nothing. And maybe you're just around the corner or even in the same room, having your eyes on something else.You can use any media file you like, A.L.A.R.M. supports all major file formats. A brilliant alarm siren is already included.A.L.A.R.M. is free open source software released under GPL.

jiteshmodi65May 3, 2011
Pros
easy setup
Cons
(1) while running program icon should be hidden - currently icon is displayed in system tray - this is a bad thing (2) alarm mp3 is not good
Summary
EVERY THIEF HAS A RIGHT TO STEEL THE LAPTOP ON WHICH THIS SOFTWARE IS NOT INSTALLED
Great Little Program

Pros
If you need to step away from your laptop in a public place briefly, just open the program, turn the volume up, and you can know that a loud alarm will go off and make it hard for the thief to get away unnoticed. Use your own sound files as well.
Cons
Haven't found any cons
Summary
Very simple, easy to use, does what it claims to do. Nifty.
