Description:
 KAlarm is a personal alarm scheduler which
displays messages, executes commands, or sends
emails, at scheduled times. You can set up
recurring alarms, or restrict alarms to working
hours. Among its options, it allows you to choose
the message font and color, whether to display an
advance reminder, whether to speak the message or
play a sound when it is displayed, whether to
cancel the alarm if it can't be triggered on time
(e.g. if you are logged out when it triggers).

You can optionally use multiple alarm calendars,
or share calendars. This allows, for example,
sharing alarm calendars between laptops and
desktop computers.

As well as using the graphical interface to
configure alarms, you can use the command line,
and there is a DCOP interface for other
applications.

The KDE 3.5 kdepim package provides KAlarm version
1.5. The KAlarm version downloadable from here
(version 2.0 for KDE 3) is functionally the same
as the KAlarm which is part of KDE 4.1. 

Changelog:
 Version 2.0.0: KAlarm now handles multiple
calendars, seasonal time changes and time zones.
Alarm texts can be generated by commands, and
alarms can be restricted to working hours. The
alarm daemon (kalarmd) is removed.

Version 2.0.5 fixes very high CPU usage by KAlarm
when there are alarms with sub-repetitions, or
deferrals, with periods greater than 1 week..
