Can’t shut laptop!

Great and all, but it requires you to leave your laptop open for the alarm to go off. And there can’t be headphones/speakers plugged in or it will just go off in those. I set alarms because I’ll FORGET or just never wake up if I don’t. If I set an alarm for 6 days from now (for an appointment or whatever it is), I’m not going to remember that I have to keep my laptop open this time when I head to bed. This needs to be able to override a shut laptop, because if I set an alarm for a certain time, I set it for a reason, and I expect it to go off no matter what until I come shut it off.

You’re supposed to be able to set your Mac to start up beforehand so that your alarm will go off anyway, but why on earth would I go root around in my preferences every time I want to set another alarm? What a hassle. But when you say, “Sorry, my alarm didn’t go off!” no one cares, they’re just mad that you’re late. Just can’t risk it on a poorly developed and poorly thought out app like this. Have to find something else. Might use this as a kitchen timer.
