Awaken is cheaper, and if you got it in the MH bundle, then cheaper again - but Aurora is easier to use, and has a few extra features, which i feel makes it worth the extra money (especially when you use our discount :D ) I Have both Aurora and Awaken; and yes, they both do practically the same job BUT; aurora has that extra feature of EyeTV support- So if you want woken up by the TV – Aurora is the way to go.

Its version of a loud buzzer is Extremely effective at getting me out of bed. Not just me - all the people along my corridor as well. :x It's got everything I need, so unfortunately Aurora 4 loses out here... Count another Awaken user here, also from the MacHeist bundle.

It’s got everything I need, so unfortunately Aurora 4 loses out here…

It's not as fancy as the before mentioned shareware apps, but it's free and works well: http://www.robbiehanson.com/alarmclock/ Aurora looks neat, but I’m rather fond of free applications, so I must mention Robbie Hanson’s ‘Alarm Clock’ application.

I doubt I will be changing from it for a LONG time. One look will tell you a lot of time and thought went into this app. A+ Aurora is very slick. I doubt I will be changing from it for a LONG time.

One look will tell you a lot of time and thought went into this app.

I wasn't very excited at first, but I've been using it for almost a month now--it got me out of bed this morning! The app is well polished and the developer has been very responsive to requests from the Mac community. I picked up Awaken through the recent MacHeist bundle and love it.
