Nag:
This a simple little application that lets you set alarms so that you can never forget anything. Nag is already popular on the iPhone and now it comes to your Macs. As this free alarm for Mac has a completely different way of interacting, you can simply click on the controls to add an alarm. The app only allows you to add time via clicking these buttons and incrementing the time by the hour at max otherwise you can use the other buttons to add by the minutes.
When its the time to ring the application will jump up on the top of the screen and start ringing while it displays your Nag message. To stop the alarm just click on the control which says stop.The only problem that I found within this application is that you cannot add more than one alarm at a given time. So we can say that this application is more of a timer than an alarm clock. To download the app click here, if you want to read more about this application then checkout this.
