This program was the answer to all the problems my previous "found on the internet" alarm program had (see images). My alarm focuses on reliability, ease-of-use, and useful features so that the user is always alerted in the appropriate manner of their choosing and with minimal hassles. The features from the Documentation follow.

Multiple alarms that are easy to add, change, or delete
9 alarm date types ensure that you'll quickly be able to set alarms to match your schedule
Big button text on the alarm dialog helps the sleepy-eyed and visually-impaired in the mornings
Customizable action list lets you predefined what happens when alarms go off
Choose from 4 different action types, such as playing a sound or showing a message box
Sound actions can play any number of sound formats (WAV, MP3, WMA, OGG, etc) courtesy of the included FMOD library
Program interacts with system standby to either prevent it or wake the computer up when there's an active alarm
Intelligent, threaded time monitor manages its own polling rate and process priority to keep system usage down (especially when minimized to tray)
Many options to suit the user's needs and personal preferences
