Note that any alarm set on your Mac Calendar will automatically sync with your iPad or iPhone, You will still receive the notification if you’re far away from your computer or Macbook. It is good to keep your Macbook awake because Apple Calendar is not the best option if you’re looking for how to set the alarm.

Setting up an alarm on your MacBook is not an easy task as you set up on your iOS device. There is no such Clock app available for iPhone and iPad where you can set alarm. But still, there are some more features available on MacBook that make this possible and you can easily get alerts sound, notification sound for the time you have enabled.

Here in this tutorial we are going to discuss some best ways to set alarm on MacBook Pro or Air.

1. Using Reminder

Using Reminder option is one of the easiest and best way to get alerts on the time you have set the task. Similar to the number of alarm you set on iPhone/ iPad, you can set multiple reminders on Calender and along with this you can also receive the short note about the alert. In this manner you can receive both alarm and notes for that task. To enable this follow some steps:

Your
  • Go to Launchpad on your MacBook from Dock or directly tap on Reminders from the dock.
  • Tap on Reminders app from the application lists
  • Tap on the Plus icon (+) to add new reminder alert
  • Write your task and after the competition, click on the information (i) icon next to the reminder you have created.
Pro
  • Tick remind meoption and set the date and time to receive an alert.
  • Click Done once all set.

Now the reminder is activated, there is another option to receive a reminder by using at a location option instead of choosing only remind option. You can also tick both. But you have to enable the Current location settings from the Privacy option.

2. Use Calander to set Alarm on MacBook

As already discussed MacBook does not have a particular app to set alarm but all time associated apps provide this feature and you can take a lot from this. Here’s how the calendar works to enable alarm on Mac.

  • Go to MacBook’s Dock and either tap on Launchpad and look for Calendar or directly tap on Calendar from the dock.
  • The calendar preview mode is there and you can choose the view mode from Day, Week, Month or Year from the top tab area.
  • Double tap on the day/date on which you wish to set alarm.
  • The small box appears next to the date you have selected. You can enter here a new event, location, set a time when you want to receive alert and at last, you can also attach links, notes, and attachments.

Once done with these steps, close the Calendar app and your alarm is activated. If still, you are interested to have the app like Clock on an iOS device, then we recommend you to go for a third-party app that works quite similar to Clock works on iPhone and iPad.

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.

App Pro’s: Easy to use, Free

App Con’s: Functionality is limited to alarms and a stopwatch

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.
