NEW Version 3.0!
See below for version history.

WolfClock is a simple but cool looking alarm clock or desk clock application that allows you to configure the colors and background images, sounds, and a bunch of other options.

To download the previous version (2.0), please download from:
http://lonewolf.tierranet.com/wolfclock/wolfclocksetup.exe

Otherwise, download here for the latest version.

International Users
While I'm doing my best to make sure this application will run internationally, I'm currently unable to test this application on non-US devices. If you run into difficulties running this program, please email the support address and I'll do my best to resolve the issues. If you're running a non-US or non-English device, please keep this warning in mind and realize there may be issues running this application on your device.

Why free?
I began designing Wolfclock with spare hours here and there. I wanted certain features that I couldn't find in a single product, so I designed my own with the features I wanted. I added some documentation and clean up the UI a little, and put it up here for others to enjoy. There's no spyware, no nag screens. Just a great app that's superior to many other titles in its class. Good software can be free!

Do you accept donations?
Donations are not required to use WolfClock. However, small donations are accepted and are appreciated. All donations go towards the future development of the application to cover licensing and other costs.

To make a donation, please visit PayPal.com and remit a small amount to brian@lonewolf.tierranet.com -- and thanks in advance for your contribution! To make a donation now, click here .

Some features include:

• New! Unlimited alarms.
• New! Music player that can play music while you fall asleep.
• New! Configurable brightness control (for supported devices only)
• Supports MP3, WAV, OGG, AIFF, MOD, S3M, XM, and IT file formats for sounds.
• Configure the fonts and font attributes to use whatever TrueType font you'd like!
• Set up a shuffle list for background images.
• Runs either full screen or in a more traditional window.
• Customizable alarm sounds -- can use all popular sound formats.
• Customizable text and graphics colors.
• Exclusive artwork included -- and special thanks to Ryan Bliss at Digital Blasphemy for allowing me to include some of his images.
• Contains a main alarm, nap alarm, and snooze alarm.
• Alarms are persistent -- they will sound if the app isn't running, or even if the Pocket PC is off.

Includes some basic features such as a shuffle list for images, snooze, and configurable alarm sound.

This application has been developed on an iPaq 2210/2215, and shouldn't suffer from any of the notification problems many WM2003 devices experience.

When you set an alarm, you can leave the device on if you want to see the clock, or, you can exit the application -- if an alarm is set, the device will wake up and sound the alarm at the desired time.

Known Issues:

• Some PocketPC devices still do not wake up properly when an alarm is scheduled. Unfortunately, this is an underlying problem with the Pocket PC OS and affects all software, not just WolfClock. When an application is registered with the OS to start at a specific time, the OS takes over and should wake itself up. I'm currently looking into more ways to ensure this happens. If you experience this problem, please let me know!

Wow. I can't believe how great this program is! I like the fact that I can use a customized background and play my own music file! It has a wealth of features that other software sold on Handango don't have. Expect a donation soon!
