Traveling and you don’t quite trust the hotel alarm clock which you aren’t sure you set properly? Add a safeguard and use Wakerupper as your backup alarm. Not only good for waking up, you can use it as a date/time alarm for everything, even years in advance. They just implemented the ability to pre-record a voice message that will be played when you receive the alarm, or, it can text-to-speech a preset message for you as well. I could imagine myself using the text-to-speech for a grocery list that will “alarm” when I get off from work. Alarm + information = pretty cool.

been using it for many months (early beta) and love it, can’t wait for sms features to come…
this has been a lifesaver for meetings, pickups, scheduled interruptions (think: bad dates)
Hey, this is cool! I love that you can schedule way in advance!
Wow– you could use this to wish someone a happy birthday!
Dave, glad to hear that someone is a continuing user of the tool, that says great things about it. I’m excited to use it in the future. I once missed a presentation when my hotel alarm clock didn’t work and I overslept by hours. Now I’m super paranoid about that happening again.
The bad date rescue is an excellent idea, will definitely have to give that a try next time.
TBL, thanks!!! Luckily it keeps a tidy list of all of your scheduled calls, otherwise I’d be setting things way in advance and then forget about them completely.
Who else sees some kind of plug-in with Outlook or XXX ?
Imagine getting a creepy computer-voiced “happy birthday” hahaha. I will have to try that on one of my friends. Thanks for the idea, Emmalee!
Very cool. Thanks for posting.
I can confirm, it’s pretty hilarious to get a creepy computer-voiced happy birthday
I almost didn’t answer though, since I didn’t recognize the number, and then *almost* hung up when the automated voice started. Then I realized who/what it was….
