FriendlyAlarm - This hack makes scheduled alarms friendlier. No more unwanted alerts and missed morning alarms. Hack catches all alerts, showed inside alarm handlers and convert them to the subtle attentions, so no alarm are missed.
Remember frequent situation: there are no free space on card. Backup program wakes at 3:00AM, tries to make backup, fails and show alert dialog. PalmOS don't call next alarm until previous alarm complete its job. So, waking at the morning (too late! why?) you find failed backup (it's your fault) and missed morning alarm (it's PalmOS feature ;-(.

If alert text doesn't fit into reminders form, you can call complete text by clicking on message.
