CarpeTempus is a complete, powerful Android alarm/timer application.
CarpeTempus will accept any number of alarms (particular time of day, and day of week, month, year, etc.) or timers (durations in seconds. minutes. hours, etc.).
When it's time for CarpeTempus to alert you, it will speak the message you choose, or play an alarm ringtone, or play a piece of music you choose.
The CarpeTempus alarm scheduler is very sophisticated — you can choose a time of day, one or more days of the week, one or more days of the month, or a particular day of the year — or any combination of these.
CarpeTempus timers are much like alarms, except they're meant for time durations, not times of day. You can set time durations from one second to 100 hours. When the time arrives, all the features of the alarm scheduler are available — spoken messages, ringtones or user-selected music.
Once you have programmed some alarms and timers, you can put your Android device in standby mode. Then, when it's time for an alarm, the CarpeTempus service daemon will wake up, turn on the display, and alert you.
It's not necessary to type reminder messages. To program a CarpeTempus message, you can speak the message instead of typing it.
CarpeTempus is free and open-source, and is licensed under the GPL.
One more thing — CarpeTempus has no ads, no tricks and no strings attached. CarpeTempus is exactly what it appears to be — a nice, free application.

This is a simple, straightforward app with a clear purpose. The interface is a bit squeezed on my phone (a Kyocera Rise), but it's perfect on a 7-inch tablet. Used as a timer or alarm for any process or need you can imagine, it can alert you using text-to-speech conversion of your own typed words. (I set up a 4-minute tea timer that announces, "Your tea is ready, sir." Makes me smile every time.) You can use your imagination to do a lot with this app. It is exactly what it says it is, and your own clever mind can make it much more. Small footprint, low memory demand, with the usual care and thought applied by developer Paul Lutus. I've been a fan of his work for years, and use a highly customized version of his Arachnophilia software to do web design work on both Windows and Linux operating systems. Do consider what Paul says about "careware," too. It's a concept I'd like to see catch on in a big way.
