alarmToday is very flexible and I have found the author to be very
receptive to suggestions. Being a very satisfied customer is the only
relationship I have with the software/author.
I do the following:
A) Have alarmToday do an automatic System mute set for my
PDA from 11 PM to 5 AM.
B) I have alarmToday wake me every weekday morning at 5:30
to live streaming foreign news from the Internet (my PDA has WIFI).
Alternatively, you could have it use the regular PPC
alarm sounds or have it load a local music file...
Having the system mute was very important to me, because
I have Sprite Backup do automated backed every night.
The backups complete with a soft reset. A soft reset has
a loud bing to it and it would wake me up! Actually,
while waiting for the system mute funtion to be developed,
I replaced the sound it uses for the soft reset, with a
silent audio file...
I also use alarmToday to have it automatically clean up
temp files. It also allows for repeating alarms. It allows
alarms to be at a different volume than the system volume.
It has an optional 'snooze' button for 'waking to music'
and it has the WM2003 wakeup bug fix...
Years ago I only used StopTime for the linked stopwatch
capabilities, so I can't tell you how it compares for alarm....
I just looked at their website and it says that there
MAY be an issue with WM2003 and mentions alarmToday and another
freeware WM2003 wakeup fix, which may or may not fix the problem....
I have WM2003SE so I can't test it to see....
