WolfClock is a freeware Pocket PC alarm/notification application, currently distributed by Handango, one of the web's largest Pocket PC software distributors.

Created using the Compact .NET Framework for mobile devices, available free from Microsoft and included on newer Pocket PC devices by default, WolfClock is a solid and state-of-the-art application.

WolfClock can play most popular audio formats, including MP3, WAV, and OGG files. In addition, you can use your own pictures as background images, or select one of the very cool exclusive images included in the application.

Here are what some people are saying about WolfClock:

"This beats out every other clock program period. There is no comparison. Wakes up my axim 3xi without a hitch and everything runs smoothly. No issues whatsoever. Amazing. Thankyou!!!!! If this program were for sale I would buy it in a second. I even wrote the guy and offered him money!!! It's that good." - Shadyghost

"I've been searching the www for an app like this. Well Done !!! ...and thank you so much for making it freeware. This is an app I would purchase." - Stu

"I downloaded the original version when it first came out. Although it was free, Brian helped me many times to get it to work on my Pocket PC that was being tempermental. I was still using his patches successfully and now I have Version 3 and Brian has again outdone himself! This is the best clock and alarm out there and Brian is unbelievablly helpful. I have tried 3 other expensive clocks and alarms, but Brian's remains above the pack. Thanks Brian!" - Maia
