This desktop utility is the complete solution for your reminder
and scheduling needs. It lets you set multiple alarms, each of which
can be set to go off at various intervals, from simple (every other
Wednesday or every year) to complex (the first and last Friday of
every third month).  You can even set a "snooze", too!

Along with displaying a message, each alarm can run an application,
play a sound, open a folder, send e-mail, or to go to a Web site.
Timed applications can be used to run programs unattended (like doing
late-night backups, printing, or faxing).  Timed e-mail can be used
to send a reminder to somebody while you're on vacation.

Alarm++ stays unobtrusively in your system tray or can be minimized
on your task bar. Its autosave feature means that you never have to
worry about losing your alarms to a system crash. Alarm++ has an
attractive Windows look-and-feel with a toolbar and tabbed dialogs.
The evaluation version is fully-functional, but limits the number of
alarms you can create.


Alarm++ for Windows is shareware.

Although the evaluation version of this product is fully-functional,
you may only create a limited number of alarms with it.

You may create an unlimited number of alarms with the registered version.

 Using Alarm++ documents created by previous versions of Alarm++ for Windows
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alarm++ for Windows version 3.00 and later automatically converts older
alarm database files when you open them for the first time.

However, if you have data from Alarm++ version 1.x or 2.x (16-bit), you
will need to manually enter your alarms again.  Newer versions of Alarm++
for Windows cannot read the data stored in the alarm.ini file.
