For me, the alarm going off means it's the > chosen time. Maybe I'm missing something in your, and others', use case? The use case is that I snooze. I say "let's sleep some more, I'm too tired". I may forget that, despite having slept only 5 hours I must get up to do something important at a certain time, and that snoozing 4 times is too much. So, tell my sleepy mind the time so it realizes :-) Some people use difficult to switch off alarms. Or very loud. Those instead turn me angry. Or alarmed. So I use one that starts very softly and which doesn't wake me instantly with a jolt. But at that moment my neurons are not working right and have a mind of their own to continue sleeping. They need to be reminded why they must give up. I have seen other tools that are not alarm clocks, but reminders. There may be hundreds of alarm clock apps! -- Cheers, Carlos.
