A Simple Alarm App for Linux Mint

アプリ

Have you ever tried using the alarm function on Linux Mint (Cinnamon)?
There is a default app called Gnome-clocks, but it comes with some limitations:

  • The alarm sound is too quiet
  • You cannot freely choose the alarm sound

I felt it was not flexible enough, so I decided to create a simple alarm app with just the essential features I wanted.


How to Install

  1. Download the file: alarm-tray-en_1.0.0.zip
    “Linux Mint Alarm Tray(EN)” をダウンロード alarm-tray-en_1.0.0.zip – 2 回のダウンロード – 148.74 KB
  2. Go to the download forlder and open a terminal and run the following commands:
unzip alarm-tray-en_1.0.0.zip
sudo dpkg -i alarm-tray-en_1.0.0.deb
sudo apt -f install
  1. After installation, you will see a clock icon appear in the system tray.

How to Use

  • Right-click the clock icon to open the menu.
  • From there, you can set and manage your alarms.

How to Change Alarm Sounds

You can choose alarm sounds from the following folder (in .oga format):

/usr/share/alarm-tray/sounds/

The sound files I used were downloaded from Pixabay and converted to .oga.
Since I kept the original filenames, you can easily find the same sounds on Pixabay if you’d like to use them.


Additional Notes

  • This app works not only on Linux Mint Cinnamon but also on Linux Mint Xfce (tested).
  • It’s a lightweight and practical solution if you want:
    • Louder alarm sounds
    • A simple, tray-based alarm manager

I hope this app will be useful for anyone who needs a more reliable alarm on Linux Mint.
