Versions:
alarm-cron 0.1.1, published by independent developer Nick Reiley, is a lightweight System Utilities / Clocks & Alarms tool that lives in the Windows notification area and lets users create quick alerts, countdown timers and stopwatches without opening a separate window. Designed for minimal footprint, the program adds a small icon to the tray; left-clicking reveals a compact menu where new alarms can be defined by simply typing a time expression such as “25 min”, “2 h 15 m” or an absolute value like “14:30”. Once set, alarms pop up a native Windows toast notification accompanied by an optional sound, while timers and stopwatches display elapsed or remaining time in the same menu, allowing multitaskers to track cooking intervals, meeting reminders, Pomodoro sessions or exercise breaks without switching away from their current application. The single-version release 0.1.1 stores its configuration in a portable INI file next to the executable, so no installation or elevated rights are required and the binary can be carried on a USB stick. Because the utility relies only on standard Win32 APIs, it consumes less than 2 MB of RAM and works on every desktop edition from Windows 7 onward. alarm-cron is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
