Awaken Review (Alarm Clock for Mac OS X)
January 21, 2010
Awaken is an alarm clock application for Mac OS X, that comes with more features than you may expect from such an application, and certainly beats other alternatives on the market. Before I came across Awaken, I used Alarm Clock, a free and simple application that did what it said on the tin: played music through my speakers at whatever time I wanted! I found the application to be somewhat unintuitive, and at times buggy, so I went on the hunt for a replacement and came across Awaken.
In a market where there are many free applications that do a simple job, you may wonder why you’d pay $10(CAD) for an alarm clock application, but when using it I felt that the interface was significantly more polished than other similar applications, and offered more options as a whole.

The GrooveNeo iPod Alarm Clock Radio is more than just an alarm clock. It’s also an iPod dock with an integrated AM/FM radio. Features 2.75” stereo speakers so it should produce pretty loud and clear sound quality, although don’t expect anything Bose like from this device. Having said that, I’m sure it’s sufficient for waking you up in the morning.
The volume of the sound and the brightness of the red LED display makes it a pretty good alarm clock with a remote control so that you can position anywhere in your room. It can wake you up with any playlist of your choice, or even podcasts which is pretty cool as I’m sure there are some songs on your iPod that you wouldn’t want to wake up to. Or you can just set it to the old fashioned buzzer sound.

When I saw this R2D2 projection alarm clock, I thought that it might be just what I need in my search for an effective alarm clock to get me up early and working away – that or it’s just a really cool novelty piece of Star Wars merchandise!
I recently wrote about the retro iPod alarm clock, but you could class this as being a retro classic too, I mean who wouldn’t want a little astro-droid to project the time onto their walls or ceiling?
I’m thinking this could be a great thing for me and people like me who are short-sighted – a pet-hate of mine is not being able to make out what time it is on my clock/watch without moving over to them for a close look – I’m hoping that having my own R2D2 will fix that by projecting a large red image of the time onto my wall or ceiling!

A retro iPod alarm clock? Is that what you need on a morning?
I don’t know about you, but I if I’m honest, one of my biggest flaws that I hate about myself is the fact that I find it really hard to wake up early on a morning, which inevitably leads to late nights which then further contribute to my difficulty in getting up early – a real vicious circle that means I miss out on my most productive time of the day!
