I wish sincerely to express my gratitude to the author. To support the author's development in the future, I will contribute it.
Too complex

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Such a useful tool shouldn't be so filled with preferences, specially in a non-Mc interface. Conversely, it misses some important things. The window is HUGE by comparison with what is needed. Current time is already displayed in my menu bar. I don't nee a further display of time, about a centimetre high. i.e. three or four times as big as my menu bar time display! Yet the display window has no red or green button at top left, only the orange one. Strange. The Settings window contains many settings but the layout is complicated and the meanings of some settings could benefit from explanations. Even more important, the tool would benefit from more than just playing iTunes music. Why not gentle sounds self-generated? In this regard, iClock Pro does a better job. (However, it's not free). Most significantly, the reason why I prefer iClock Pro is because it lives in the menu, where this thing should also live.
It works great!

Pros
It has great volume. I keep my macbook in the other room so it forces me to get up and turn off the alarm.
Cons
Haven't played around with it in its entirety, so I haven't found any cons.
Summary
It works well!
nice and smooth

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />much more features than some shareware, free and fine just be aware your remote speaker is available for itunes if you have set this up, if the Airport-Station is not available, itunes alarm can not automatically change the settings. Well, like others also not, i guess

Developer’s Description

Turn your Mac into a fully-featured alarm clock.

This iTunes utility turns your Mac into the most fully featured alarm clock you've ever owned. It'll gently put you to sleep then quietly do the same for your computer. When its time to wake up, it'll wake the computer first, and then rouse you from your slumber with whatever music or radio station you choose. You can even use it to seamlessly change from one playlist to another, changing your party's mood at a specific time (a useful tool when its time for your guests to leave.)
