Multi-Alarms

Multi Alarms is a Java app that shows multiple alarms that can be set to run simultaneously.

Each alarm counts down and plays a sound to alert the user.

Background

I wrote MultiAlarms in 2003 for a cinema projectionist who needed to run multiple alarms in order to keep track of cinemas needing to have reels attended to.

I then found it generally useful, but it lay forgotten in the source-code cupboard of my machine - as I moved on to other things. So I've created this repository for posterity.

Build & Run

Requires a JDK on PATH (Java 11 or later). The Makefile drives plain javac and jar.

make            # compile and build dist/MultiAlarms.jar
make run        # build and launch the GUI
make clean      # remove build output

The resulting dist/MultiAlarms.jar is a self-contained runnable jar (the kunststoff look-and-feel library is bundled in), so it can also be launched directly with java -jar dist/MultiAlarms.jar or by double-click.
