MediaAlarm – An alarm clock with Windows Media Player to give it your style.

An interface with Windows Media Player embedded, days of week, 2 date/time pickers, and 2 drop-downs for snooze in minutes.

Whether you want to rock your way into the day or have a peaceful reminder for your 4:00 class, MediaAlarm is good to go! With the ability to handle a wide range of media types, your favorite music, video clips, and even your own recorded voice are standing in the wings to remind you to get where you need to be!

MediaAlarm is my personal project, started years ago as a way to remind myself to get to class after a two-hour break. It's kept me on time for appointments and woken me up for finals. It now is my main work alarm. I'm providing it to you forever free so you, too, can have an alarm that suits your style.

  • Two alarms and a snooze bound to each with Off, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15 minute options
  • Ability to play many media types
  • Independent media files for all alarms and snoozes
  • Option to set default times and media files
  • Automatic alarm reset option (enabled by default)
  • Automatic day rollover if time is set to before the current time
  • Date selection so you can set an alarm for appointments and events
  • Ability to exclude days of the week
  • Expandable interface so your media can take up the space it deserves

MediaAlarm EggTimer – MediaAlarm gets a countdown!

An interface with Windows Media Player embedded, with text entry, and Start and Reset buttons.

Do you need a breather? Just five minutes? Or maybe three minutes for the perfect egg? EggTimer can be launched from MediaAlarm and works independently of the MediaAlarm alarms while sharing the same configuration files! Just enter a time and hit Start and EggTimer will count down! Multiple EggTimers can be run at once, each with their own media player. Want to see video? Just click and drag the corner!

EggTimer is actually descended from MediaAlarm's older brother: a simple timer app I wrote to help me get to class. MediaAlarm was my second crack at the problem. In the interest of updating and re-releasing some of my older apps, it made sense to attach EggTimer to MediaAlarm to have them both in one place.

EggTimer may become a standalone app if there's demand for it. It has its own icon and inner workings to make that possible. However, it will also remain part of MediaAlarm, which is still guaranteed forever free!

Features include:

  • Simple, compact interface
  • Launch as many as you want from MediaAlarm
  • Single media file selection for ease
  • Expandable interface so your media can take up the space it deserves
