Hi,
It’s a Mac app that will help you remember key events and deadlines. Alarm Clock is a menu item alarm clock for setting either one-time alarms or repeating alarms. Then choose anything in the iTunes library to wake to: songs, playlists, even podcasts. Apple has removed the Bedtime tab from Clock. Instead, you can configure your bedtime in the Health app. To get there, tap the orange Change text from within your automatically-created alarm. Same issue with my early 2008 Mac pro. Rtc alarm wakes the Mac pro every 2 hours. I did a clean erase and install. No other software installed at this point. I rest smc and pram. Wake for Ethernet is disabled and all sharing possibilitys are also off. I even tried disconnecting from Icloud including my Ethernet cable.
About a month ago my MacBook Pro (13 inch, early 2011 model) started to freeze occationally, forcing me to shut it down manually with the power button. The freezing was accompanied by a loud alarm sound (three beeps with one-second interval, then a short pause, then three new beeps).
Recently, the freezing has become more frequent, and I can barely use it for a few minutes before I have to shut it down. The freezing does not seem to be related to any specific software, which leads me to think that the problem is either hardware-related or related to the OS. Sometimes when restarting the computer, a problem report appears on the screen, prompting me to submit an anonymous report to apple. The report features some details relating to the problem, but since I'm not an expert on these things, I'm not able to make much out of it. From what I see, it seems that the CPU is faulting, but I'm not sure. I'm enclosing a screenshot of the error report, so that you can see it for yourselves.
I don't know what to do about this, and really need your advice.
Thanks

Alarm Clock Editor's Review
Create alarms for your Mac with this handy utility.
One of the biggest things that people – me – do with their computers is keep track of their schedules. I know I'm pretty anal retentive about my calendar. I also know that I can often get lost in my writing when I've got a good topic I'm writing about. Its at times like this, that I'm glad that there are applications like Alarm Clock. It’s a Mac app that will help you remember key events and deadlines.
Alarm Clock is a menu item alarm clock for setting either one-time alarms or repeating alarms. Then choose anything in the iTunes library to wake to: songs, playlists, even podcasts. The application takes care of the rest, even waking the computer from sleep if needed.
You can configure your snooze duration to the length you want. You can even increase/decrease your snooze time right from the alarm window. Plus, if you have an apple remote, you can hit snooze without getting out of bed. If waking up to blaring alarms in the morning isn't your cup of tea, there's an 'easy wake' option that gradually increases the alarm volume over time. All of the settings are end user configurable.

Conclusion: Alarm Clock is a simple program, but what it does, it does very well. This is key system functionality that I haven't been able to find in this configuration in OS X, even with Reminders; and I'm glad that this app has found its way to my hard drive. I'm certain you'll like the app as well. The price is certainly right.
