Edu Alarm (formerly School Alarm)

Edu Alarm (formerly School Alarm) is a lightweight software application built specifically for helping you schedule reminders and alerts at a specified time. It comes in handy especially if you intend to use it in educational institutions for scheduling the entire classroom activity with the aid of alerts.

The advantages of being portable

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.
You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to set up reminders on the fly, without having to go through installation steps.

Simple looks

The primary panel reveals information about the alarms that you have set up, namely day, start and end time, activity type (e.g. learn lesson three, enter to the class, soccer time for staff), audio tones, as well as text. The tool provides an example about how the reminders should look like for each event and you can manually edit the information.

Editing the schedule

Edu Alarm (formerly School Alarm) gives you the possibility to pick the day, specify the start and stop time, and enter the name of the activity. Plus, you may choose between several preset sound notifications and test them, upload an audio file from your computer (WAV or MP3 file format), or insert the English text for being spoken by the utility.
Furthermore, you can select an opening and closing tone, arrange the activities in the desired order by moving items up or down, as well as delete reminders from the list.

Bottom line

All in all, Edu Alarm (formerly School Alarm) comes bundled with basic functions for helping you create reminders and it still needs some improvements in the GUI area to make the process more intuitive.
