Two ways to set an alarm on your computer

It will not be a revelation for anyone that it is possible to put an alarm clock on a modern phone, thereby abandoning obsolete similar devices that have only taken their place. But what if you do not have a mobile phone near you, have you already forgotten about clockwork with the dial? In this case, you can help any computer, whether stationary, or a laptop, the main thing - that it had the operating system Windows.

This article will talk about how to set an alarm clock on a computer. Two most popular ways, which everyone can use, will be disassembled. In the first, the application "Alarm clock" will be described, and in the second program AIMP, which is essentially a player, but on the "board" has a special tool.

Method 1: Set the alarm using the Free Alarm Clock application

The application mentioned above has its name - Free Alarm Clock. Now it will be told how to put an alarm clock on the computer with it. But it should be noted immediately that this procedure is very easy, and most users prefer to use the application. So, about everything in order.

Deleting a preset alarm

After you download, install and open the application, you will find that it already has a pre-set alarm clock at 9 am. This time may not be suitable for everyone, so it will be reasonable to tell how to delete this preset.

This can be done in two ways. The first implies that you right-click on it (PCM) and select "Delete" in the context menu. The second is slightly simpler - you need to first select it by clicking the left mouse button (LMB), and press Ctrl + Del.

After the done manipulations, the preset disappears, and you can go on to the story of how to set the alarm on your computer, indicating your time.

Adding your alarm

Now the application does not have a single alarm clock, and you can easily create your own, specifying in it all the necessary parameters. About how to put the alarm clock on your computer into the application Free Alarm Clock, now we will talk.

First of all, you need to click the "Add" button on the top panel. A new window will appear, in which all the necessary settings are set, such as:

• Playing time;
• Playing days;
• Message that appears when playing;
• A melody of playing;
• The volume of the melody playback.

As you can see, the options are enough to set the alarm for yourself. The main thing is that you yourself will be able to determine which melody will be played. It can be selected from the list offered by the program itself, or you can find it on your computer.

In addition, the application provides the user with additional options. You can enable repetition of the melody to play, add a "Delay" button, which you can press during playback, take the computer out of sleep mode while playing, or, on the contrary, turn off the monitor.

By the way, after adding one alarm clock in this program, you can add another, absolutely similar way. This is very convenient, if during the day you need several sound notifications.

This was the first way to get an alarm clock on your computer. All actions were performed in the Free Alarm Clock application. But as mentioned above, this is not the only method.

Method 2: Set the alarm in the AIMP player

A fairly well-known player called AIMP also has an alarm function. This method is suitable for those users who already have an installed, the above program. It's about how to set up an alarm clock on your computer, using AIMP for this purpose, and will be told right now.

The process of setting the alarm in the AIMP program

Immediately it is worth noting that all the below actions will be applicable to the version of the program on 4.12.1880, in earlier versions deviations from the instruction are possible.

First of all after running the program itself, you need to click on the alarm icon, which is located at the top of the window. Its exact location you can see in the image below.

After you do this, the "Scheduler" window appears before you. It has two tabs - "Sleep Timer" and "Alarm Clock". As it is easy to guess, you need to go to the second tab.

Now before you will be a window in which all the alarm settings are set. It is quite similar to the window that was shown in the first method, with only minor changes. The number of options in it is an order of magnitude smaller. You can set the playing time, specify the playback melody and the volume. By the way, the melody can be chosen from the computer itself, and you can determine the player already added to the playlists. In addition, it is possible to set the increasing playback volume by ticking the corresponding item and selecting the time range of the increase.

After all the settings were done by you, pay attention to the checkmark next to "Enable alarm clock". After that, you can safely press the "OK" button - the alarm will be saved and play the selected melody at the specified time.
