Wake Up on Time Every Day [Palm Software]

(I originally posted this on PalmAddicts)

One of my favorite tools for my Treo 650 is TreoAlarm. Though it says it's shareware, so far my trial version has not expired, and I've been using it for year (though I am using a slightly older version). This software includes 8 different alarms that can be set. I have a Bible study/Mommy group that I go to every Tuesday, so I set an alarm to wake me up at the right time every Tuesday. Other days, my schedule is different, so I can have different alarms for those days. Each alarm can have a customized tone, duration, and loudness level; you can choose the snooze length; you can choose to turn the phone radio on or off; or you can have the weather updated.

View all its features here.

For any Palm users that have different schedules on different days throughout the week, TreoAlarm definitely extends the functionality of the built-in alarm software! This is a must have.

Have a great Tuesday!

About Mama Tech

I'm a stay-at-home mom of one daughter, with one on the way this summer. I've been interested in technology since I was just a kid, literally! My family got a Dell desktop computer back in 1994, and let me tell you -- it had nothing!! It used Windows 3.1 (anyone know what that is??), had 128 MB hard drive space, and 4 MB of RAM. And..... it cost $2,000 on sale!!! Wow, we've come a long way since then.

I'll just let you know what devices I have at home, so that you'll know where I'm mostly going to be coming from on my posts. I have a Dell Inspiron laptop running Windows XP, so most of my software recommendations and reviews will be XP-related. I also use a Palm Treo smartphone -- a techie mama's best friend! Palms have all sorts of third-party applications that made my life sooo much easier! I use it for everything from scheduling, wake-up alarm, listening to music/podcasts, tracking fertility signs (for real!!), Bible reading, eBook reading, taking pictures, shopping lists, and on and on. I'll be highlighting a lot of my favorite softwares along the way. I'm also an Associate Writer over at the PalmAddicts blog.

I looove helping other mamas find tech solutions to make their lives easier, so if you have a question along the way, let me know!
