Using Reminder option is one of the easiest and best
- Go to Launchpad on your MacBook from Dock or directly tap on Reminders from the dock.

2. Use Calander to set Alarm on MacBook
As already discussed MacBook does not have a particular app to set alarm but all time associated apps provide this feature and you can take a lot from this. Here’s how the calendar works to enable alarm on Mac.
- Go to MacBook’s Dock and either tap on Launchpad and look for Calendar or directly tap on Calendar from the dock.
- The calendar preview mode is there and you can choose the view mode from Day, Week, Month or Year from the top tab area.
- Double tap on the day/date on which you wish to set alarm.
- The small box appears next to the date you have selected. You can enter here a new event, location, set a time when you want to receive alert and at last, you can also attach links, notes, and attachments.
Once done with these steps, close the Calendar app and your alarm is activated. If still, you are interested to have the app like Clock on an iOS device, then we recommend you to go for a third-party app that works quite similar to Clock works on iPhone and iPad.
