Easy Tracker Lite can notify you when the schedule is due. As one of usages, you can use Easy Tracker Lite to wake you up.
First of all, make a schedule to notify you to wake up every morning, for example, at 7:10AM. Sometimes, you cannot wake up by just one notification. So you can make another schedule to notify you 10 minutes later. Every schedule had better provide music playing, and then you would get a music playing when the notification reaches.
You should make sure the computer is working when the schedule is due. There are at least two methods. The first method is making the computer run all time. The second method needs more skill. It requires getting your computer into BIOS mode, and then set when the computer powers on.
