B-Alarm

This free reminder application works well in programming several alarms simultaneously, but a minor glitch marred its otherwise impressive performance.

B-Alarm's easy-to-use interface makes setting alarms an easy task; simply specify the time and purpose for the alarm and you're good to go. You can schedule as many alarms as you like. We especially like that each alarm can be accompanied with a WAV or MP3 file of your choice. Moreover, we like that you can gradually increase the volume to alleviate a jarring noise at its onset.

Initially, one of the scheduled alarms failed to launch for us, but it was resolved in subsequent tests. Apart from that, the program was smooth sailing. Anyone who's in the market for a simple and effective desktop alarm will appreciate what B-Alarm brings to the table.
