Wake Up Time
Wake Up Time is a macOS alarm clock app that lets you set desktop alarms, choose sounds, and view the current time in a large clock display.
What is Wake Up Time?
Wake Up Time is a macOS alarm clock app for people who want a simple desktop alarm on their Mac. It helps users schedule daily wake-up alarms, reminders, or timed alerts with an always-visible clock style interface. The app includes built-in alarm sounds, support for custom sounds, snooze controls, 24-hour time display, and options such as fading alarm volume. It also offers a helper tool for users who want to put their Mac to sleep and wake it for an alarm, which can fit overnight or desk-based workflows. Wake Up Time is published by Rocky Sand Studio and is designed as a focused utility rather than a full calendar or task manager.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Wake Up Time is a normal desktop alarm utility for Mac. Access to play sounds and run while your Mac is in use is expected for this type of app. If you install its optional helper to sleep and wake your Mac for alarms, that behavior is part of the app's alarm workflow, so use it only if you want that feature and make sure your alarm setup works reliably on your Mac before depending on it overnight.
Recommendation: Keep Wake Up Time if you use your Mac as an alarm clock or need simple desktop alarms. If you no longer rely on it, you can remove it without affecting macOS beyond losing its alarms and any app-specific settings or helper-related functionality.
