I use this to wake me up every day. The Easy Wake feature is like a regular alarm clock but progressively gets louder. Also this program wakes up my Macbook from its sleep. It's the only program I have used which reliably wakes up my laptop before the alarm. Very simple and easy to use.

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has had trouble or know of anyone having trouble getting Alarm Clock 2.4.5 to access songs from iTunes. When I try to set an alarm everything is fine, but where there is a bar that says "Source:" there is nothing there to select. I can't access iTunes or any songs; I'm left with a bleeping alarm sound. I have iTunes 7.6.2, and I'm about to try updating to 7.7 to see if that's better. Also, I have mutliple libraries on iTunes- will it only work if I have one library?
Thanks you kindly to anyone willing to lend a hand here,

Works *almost* as advertised.

This is very well thought out and well done. However, when first waking the computer from sleep, it takes a good 10 seconds before you hear the alarm. And if you've chosen music from iTunes, your track is already 10 seconds into it by the time you start hearing it. AND, if you're one of those people like me who requires authentication to wake from sleep/come out of screen saver, etc.... after the computer times out because you have now not manually logged in, the computer goes back to sleep, and your alarm stops. So, really, you'll get about 5-10 seconds of the alarm before it stops and goes into it's snooze mode. Then it starts again after the snooze time has passed. If there were a fix for this, this would be hands down the best alarm clock for the Mac. I'm still giving it 4 stars because not all or even many users require a password like I do. But I'm on a laptop, so that's how I do it, for security purposes. BTW, I am on a Macbook 2 Ghtz, Core 2 Duo running 10.4.11.

Great App - Version: 2.4.5, 5/15/2008 05:59PM PST

Works flawlessly on Leopard (Running 10.5.2), I don't see what all the fuss is about. Great app, simplistic design, the developer thought of everything when making this. Much better than all the other alternatives. Thanks to the developer for making my wake every morning a pleasant experience.
Leopard Update Please - Version: 2.4.5, 3/10/2008 06:47PM PST

This application was one of the best Alarm Clocks on a Mac I have ever come across. However it looks like this great little gem is becoming abandonware. Maybe the developer never got the donations he was looking for.
Please make this Leopard compatible - Version: 2.4.5, 2/6/2008 12:00AM PST

I really miss this app. Could you please make it compatible with Leopard?
I began using Aurora, because it was free and Alarm Clock just wouldn't work in 10.5...and Aurora just switched to shareware.
I see people having various issues with Alarm Clock in 10.5, but my issue is that the built-in music player just doesn't play anything (but it thinks that it does). The alarm goes off at the correct time, but you can't hear anything play.
I'd be happy to do beta testing, if that helps.

Potentially great, but has disastrous bug. - Version: 2.4.5, 12/17/2007 03:07AM PST

I was very pleased to find this app—it's free, and very configurable, and unobtrusive. I installed it, and was happy.
It worked very well, but I had to uninstall it, as I found out *eventually* that it was behind a total death of drag-and-drop functionality in the Finder some unspecified time after startup. I was having to restart my computer to get drag-and-drop back, nothing else would do it...then I suddenly had a thought, uninstalled his app, and I have never had problems since.
If this can be fixed, great, but of course it's totally unusable for me until then.
