Good, i'd like it has some features like puting alarms into a group
I downloaded it on a day of need and it solved it. However, today I point out the TimeLeft that has here in the alternativeto. TimeLeft is the only program I know that can fix various alarms on your screen with their descriptions. This one does not do this and it just in the clock bar does not indicate as quickly whether it is active or not. But I had no problem with it!
Can show Messages or start programs once, every 1-3 days, every 1-3 weeks, every 1-6 month or anually, Free Alarm Clock provides only weekly intervals
As sheduled events with all these intervals in Kana Reminder you additionally can select:
(a) ShutDown
(b) Reboot
(c) Logoff
All these 3 events Free Alarm Clock can theoretically start only with the help of additional software for shutdown- or reboot-management.
Free Alarm Clock runs on Windows but not macOS.
It is raw and has a terrible bug! It wakes you up randomly in the night! Dont even install it. Wakeup bugs! Find an alternative here.
Free Alarm Clock is a good app but it can't shut-down PC or go to sleep-mode or hibernate... it's a pity.
The features of the english-only Kana Reminder as a portable task-reminder and programm launcher are very useful and covered only by "Free Alarm Clock" as the only alternative.
