Awaken is a digital alarm clock for Mac OS X that wakes you by playing music or podcasts from your iTunes library or any of the built in alarm sounds. It can also put both you and your Mac to sleep with the sleep timer feature. Alarms can be created to alert you on a daily or weekly basis. You can also set a one-time alarm for any specific date and time in the future.

Awaken also offers the ability to have the volume of the music - as well as the brightness of the screen - gradually fade in at the set alarm time. Use the sleep timer to fall asleep to your favorite music or podcast. The sleep timer can be set to slowly fade out the volume during the last few minutes of the timer, as well as to fade the screen brightness to black. Awaken can also put your Mac to sleep at the end of the timer and it will automatically wake at alarm time.

REQUIREMENTS: Mac OS 10.4 or later
