Alarm Clock Pro 9.1.5

Alarm Clock Pro 9.1.5 is designed to be an organizational tool as it is an alarm clock. At its most basic, this multi-purpose application lets you set an alarm for a certain time (specific or relative), warning you with anything from a default beep to a song from iTunes.

You can pick from a variety of sounds, with a customizable snooze, but the real muscle behind Alarm Clock Pro is the huge range of actions that it can take when an alarm goes off: everything from sending a text message to opening a specific Web site, taking a security screenshot of your desktop and e-mailing it to you, playing an iTunes playlist, shutting down or restarting your computer, speaking a line of text, even performing shell commands and more.

In addition, Alarm Clock Pro gives you a stopwatch, timer, swim clock (a full-screen clock), and many options for a persistent clock on your desktop (everything from an old grandfather clock to a time bomb). You also get extras like a Task List that can prompt you with random to-dos, as well as a Chronoindex (to track relative times--so for example, you can always know how old you are, or how long its been since your last backup, down to the second).

Alarm Clock Pros interface is visually attractive, but it's something of a kitchen sink given this applications almost overwhelming number of features. Fortunately, extensive online help walks you through Alarm Clock Pro's functionality. Users looking for a less ambitious alarm clock would do well to check out the free Lite version.

Alarm Clock Pro enables you to design your daily routine and perform various tasks automatically, such as starting your favorite iTunes playlist!  With the sheer amount of functionality Alarm Clock Pro offers, it can easily integrate into nearly every aspect of your life. Speak or display favorite inspirational quotes randomly throughout the day, or even send them as text messages to your cell phone! Have important reminders, or even birthday cards, e-mailed to contacts. Record laps with the Stopwatch. Track time differences for your investment portfolio. Even use it to help cook dinner by using the timer!

 In addition to Alarm Clock Pro's extensive list of programmable tasks, it also offers flexibility when it comes to timing alarms. Many solutions offer the ability to set alarms based on a specific date. However, Alarm Clock Pro can also initiate alarms based on a recurring monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, or even minutely schedule! Even start a countdown timer based on a specific time interval.

For both Mac OS X and Windows for the price of a single license, Alarm Clock Pro is one of the only affordable universal solutions for your needs. Download the free fully functional fifteen-day trial today, and judge for yourself.
