Quickset Alarm 2.1

Download

Some of us need reminders frequently throughout the day, especially when buried in computer work. Many reminder alarm applications require;

• Clumsy slider inputs.
• Field selections.
• Message inputs.
• Date inputs.
• Inputs regarding (daily, weekday, weekend and monthly) settings.

Traditional approaches to setting the alarm time waste our time and patients. Many of these inputs are unnecessary if all we need are one time reminders for things happening this day.

Quickset Alarm 2.1
Quickset is an efficient alarm timer written in AppleScript. It requires very simple data entry via your keyboards numbers row or your numeric keypad. Alarms can be set to any time within the next twenty four (24) hours. Once you learn proper format, any time can be entered in under 5 seconds.

Quickset Alarm has been tested in OS 9.x. It should work on OS 8.5 or later. It uses only Standard Addition and Finder dictionary AppleScript terms.

Times are entered on the keyboard without the (:) symbol. AM is represented by the (-) symbol and PM  represented by the (+ or =) symbol.

    Examples;

Follow this entry with the (return or enter) key and a dialog message comes up with the alarm time you entered in the normal time format. If correct, hit (return or enter) again to set the alarm. That's it! If you keep Quickset Alarm under an F-key its quicker still.
