Friday Favorite Triple Pack: Alarm Clock 2, Apptrap, and TimeMachineEditor

Filed under: Software , Freeware , Friday Favorite When I consider what should really be system software, I always think of three little beauties that belong on every Mac: Alarm Clock 2 , AppTrap and TimeMachineEditor . They are all one-trick-ponies, t ake up little space, are free for the downloading, and Apple should buy them up for Snow Leopard. Alarm Clock 2 , currently up to version 2.4.5, sits nicely on your menubar ready to awaken you with your favorite song, or remind you that your dinner is ready to come out of the oven. You can set an alarm to use any song from your iTunes library, or if no song is chosen, it will just beep at you. It has an Easy Wake option that slowly brings up the volume of your chosen song over an adjustable period of up to two minutes. As any good alarm clock, it comes with a snooze feature, which is also adjustable. I use it mostly as a kitchen timer that keeps me out of the kitchen.
