Q: Is there a way to set an alarm on my Mac?

Moved back to Mac after a fearful few years on Windows. Do miss alarms. GO HOME --- YOU DON'T LIVE IN THE OFFICE ... VERY IMPORTANT ... YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER LIFE TO LIVE.

Without this, I miss buses, 3 birthday party "surprise". Even a company Christmas dinner! So yeah, I need to be told things.

Hopefully it'll happen.

Were none of the other replies in this thread useful?  If not what was lacking?

Personally, I use my iPhone and the "Alarmed" app

Or the my perferred calendar app "Week Cal"

If you have an Android, I'm sure there are several apps available to provide a similar service.  And since you are more likely to have your phone with you, you are less likely to miss the alarm because you are away from your desk.
