This basic and free alarm clock does exactly what it's supposed to, as long as you don't expect anything groundbreaking. Daily Alarm Clock lets you set two alarms for each day of the week, though you won't be able to set any more than that. The program can alert you by playing a WAV file or a CD track, or by launching a user-specified application. However, if you need to append notes or reminders to alarms, you should look elsewhere, as this program doesn't offer that functionality. The application's interface is rather dry and bland, though it is extremely easy to figure out. Folks seeking a basic alarm clock will appreciate this software's simplicity and price, but demanding users will need to keep looking.

What’s new in version 2

Version 2.0 added mp3 support and built in alarm sounds, as well as support for unlimited times per day. Code completely rewritten using visual studio 2005 to resolve any stability issues.

DOES NOT WORK

Pros
NONE NONE NONE, SCREW YOUR 10 CHARACTER MINIMUM.
Cons
DOES NOT WORK
Summary
Finally a WORKING snooze button.
xXxDSMerMay 21, 2011
Pros
Snooze button actually snoozes and does not turn off the alarm, and its a keyboard button (don't have to click the mouse to snooze either). The alarm plays a music file itself instead of starting another program, but can also open other programs.
Cons
Not that its really a con to me, but it could be for someone with all .wma's or another audio format that this can't play... but if you select an audio track thats not in the "audio files" option, it wont work. I use .mp3 and it works just fine.
Summary
Absolutely love that this alarm has a WORKING snooze function that's tied to a key on the keyboard (although i'd rather have enter for a snooze, its alot easier to hit the numpad enter than spacebar with the keyboard leaning against the side of my bed). It also plays the music itself rather than opening winamp or some other audio player to wake me up. Just wish it also had a one time alarm rather than having to set an alarm for each day. Also, i had to highlight AM/PM option and push down/up arrow to switch it to PM and get it to stay PM. Otherwise the alarm will think you're trying to set an AM time. A 24 hour clock would be nice, and the UI could use a little improvement: like where you select AM/PM the buttons (that dont make it stick to PM) are covering most of the AM/PM letters. Despite its short comings, this is the alarm i'll be using because it has a working snooze button that dosent turn off the alarm, and the verify consciousness, where you have to enter a random 6 number code before you can actually turn it off, is awesome too.

Can't Beat This Clock For The Features, Free Features
SpiritCatJune 22, 2010
Pros
You can't do better than this one in many ways. The different choices for the alarm are great to have. Awoken by a fav CD track is a cool way to start the morning.
Cons
Zero. Nothing.
Summary
It's really great to have when my girlfriend stays over and she adds her favorite song to wake up and make out to. (after teeth brushing of course.) Roy B. Dalton, Georgia. U.S.A. God bless,watch over and protect our country and our Armies. And send the boys back home. Amen.
Useless and unusable
adanedhel728September 25, 2008
Pros
You don't have to play an mp3 or anything else so specific, but you can run any kind of file or program you want, which is why I downloaded this one.
Cons
It freezes up whenever the program is supposed to go off, rendering the program completely useless.
Summary
Great!

Pros
It's the best alarm clock I've used so far. All the other free alarm clocks except Karen's Alarm Clock didn't work on my laptop. It's easy and simple to set it up. <p> <p>Although some might say that it's troublesome to set up alarms for each day manually, I think it's actually a great option because most college students like me would like to wake up according to my class schedule. In a week, we usually start our class at different time most days. So, it is great to be able to sleep in on the day we start up late. <p> <p>But then again, it's a waste of time (only at the beginning) if you have the same routine everyday.. <p> <p> <p>I notice that people can only set up three alarms for each day, which, is not my concern at the moment.. :) <p> <p>Great job, guys! Keep it up!

Uhh, does it work?
sayztaMarch 11, 2008
Pros
It's very cool! I love the "Verify Consciousness" feature! The Nasa Shuttle launch default sound is interesting. Oh, and you can also have the volume fade in - very nice! It is all great but one thing....
Cons
...Call me stupid, but I don't think it works.<p>P.S: I really wish it did...
Summary
It is easy to use and nicely hides in the taskbar when minimized.
