You can set additional actions for alarm clocks and timers.

Reminder

You can set as many as five additional reminders for alarms and timers.

Show the reminders window

If you check the checkbox, the Reminders window describing the event will open when the event occurs. For more details, please read the Reminders Window section.

Show alert

This option is only available (active) if the previous one, the Show the reminders window, is turned off. If you check the checkbox, a tooltip with the event's description will be displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Be careful with this option because if you turn off both the message and the tooltip, it may be unclear why the music suddenly starts playing (when the event is triggered) and how to turn it off. Just in case, keep in mind that you can stop the music by clicking Hot Alarm Clock's blinking icon in the system tray. Or, if the blinking timer is visible, click its window to stop the music.

Close after

This option closes the tooltip and stops music after a predefined period of time.

Wake up computer from a sleep mode

While your PC is in sleep mode and the time comes to activate your alarm clock or timer, Hot Alarm Clock will wake up your computer. Verify that Hot Alarm Clock is allowed to wake the computer.

Note: Hot Alarm Clock will not wake up your computer when the laptop lid is closed.

Turn on the monitor power

Allows you to turn your computer's monitor on.

Sunrise

If the checkbox is checked, the screen will light up not at once but gradually during the specified time. Better combine this option with Wake up computer from a sleep mode. The Sunrise option is only available (active) if the previous one, Turn on the monitor power, is turned on. This setting is handy if you are being woken up in a dark room.

Actions

Here you can define one or more additional actions and determine the order of their execution:

Run program

Execute a program; open a document or a folder.

Open URL

Open one or several Internet resources.

Send email

Create a new message with the specified address.
You can set up an Outgoing mail server (SMTP) for sending a message when the alarm triggers (click Internet E-mail Settings). By default, Hot Alarm Clock uses your current e-mail program.

Lock this computer

It takes your computer to the login screen and locks it without logging you off. It prevents anyone from accessing your computer until you type your login again.

Log Off

Close programs and log off.

Restart

Closes all open programs, shuts down Windows, and starts Windows again.

Sleep

Keeps your session in memory and puts the computer in a low-power state so that you can quickly resume working.

Hibernate

Saves your session and turns off the computer. When you turn on the computer, Windows restores your session.

Shut Down

Closes all open programs, shuts down Windows, and then turns off your computer.

Turn off monitor

Power down your monitor into a "sleep mode". It'll come on when you move your mouse or something. It is better than using a screen saver because it consumes less energy, but at the same time, it will turn back on just as fast.

Start screen saver

Starts an animated image. Windows comes with built-in screen savers that you can select.

End process

Closes the specified program.

Start timer

Starts the specified timer.

Press keys

Generates the specified keyboard shortcut.

Pause

Pauses execution of actions for the specified number of seconds.

The Test button helps you test the defined actions. If the Wake up computer from a sleep mode option has been turned on, you will be prompted to put your computer in the sleep mode in order to check if Hot Alarm Clock can wake it up. The computer should wake up one minute after entering the sleep mode. If that doesn't happen, turn your computer on manually and check the power settings.
