Shameless plug. I always have trouble waking up. Since the Mac App Store came out this year, I've been working on a simple alarm clock app called "Mornings" to do just this (play iTunes or custom MP3s). It actually uses AppleScript to tell iTunes what to play for the iTunes option, so it works with whatever is in your playlists. (The "con" to this is that iTunes automatically opens when the alarm clock plays -- unlike other, more fancy apps, that load the playlists from iTunes but roll their own playback behavior.) Or you can just add your own MP3s and the app won't open iTunes.
I haven't posted it on HN before, but I'd be absolutely grateful if anyone tried it out. As a developer I get some promo codes, so here are some codes (hit Featured, then Redeem to grab it. Or if none of them work, e-mail me and I'd be happy to give you one.)

- X-Istence 15y agoThanks, used the first code, will see how I like this compared to Awaken which I have used for a long time.
- ComputerGuru 15y agoI grabbed the second and will check it out. I was using Awaken until I got my iPhone last year.
- Gring 15y agoThat's a really well designed app! Thanks, I took code #4. A suggestion: turn up the volume when sounding an alarm. Currently an alarm might go off, but if the volume is set to 0, nothing will be heard.
- d_r 15y agoThanks! That's a good point, I'm going to have to do that (and perhaps add an option to fade it in gradually.)
- qb 15y agoThanks, I used #3. Counting on it to wake me up tomorrow.
