But I don't even care about the damn alarm. But they never do anything about requests. But why should I have to take 20 minutes out of my time to implement an extremely limited workaround alarm clock with Automater? Isn't that Apple's work? I'm sure there's been enough requests. Or you can take the route chumps like me take and get an cheapo 3rd party alternative.Īctually, I wouldn't mind a 'working' alternative if that's what you were offering.
Alarm clock on a mac how to#
Here's how to make your $2000 Mac give you an alarm clock: Apple has never listened to customers.Īll the passive agressive FU2's in the world at poor ol' Lao Ding ain't gonna turn Calander.app into a (extremely bloated) alarm clock. It's not that Apple is too busy to build a lousy Alarm clock. Poor Apple! It seems funneling up all that money from saps or yuppies who buy very expensive machines built in low-wage factories in a way so that don't have to pay taxes they're probably too busy counting their loot and thinking of more profit schemes like iTunes Store and App Store to scam us on. Every iOS device has a silly alarm clock. HAHAHAHA One of the LARGEST corporations in the world can't be 'bothered' to make a simple alarm clock? Somehow that got past them? They built an bloatware calender, with glee it seems.
It's worth noting that, while it seems like simple programming, there is also time spent in interface design, decisions to make regarding interaction, and decisions to make regarding interfacing with existing systems: should alarms sync between OS X and iOS? What happens when the computer is closed/asleep and an alarm is set? How do alarms work when the volume is muted? Though it might seem simple, there are a lot of non-trivial problems to solve. Generally speaking, Apple have to find the best way for their programmers to spend their time, so they're not going to make apps for OS X (macOS) just because it's simple, especially if there isn't a demand. I'm sure it's allowed on the Mac, they just haven't deemed it necessary. "There are several OS X alarm apps available on the app store, but I haven't used them, so I can't recommend one. He's either one hell of an apologist or writing from the propaganda section of Apple, inc.:
