Any recommendations for an alternative to the Windows clock app? (lemmy.world)

I don't want to have to log into my alarm clock anymore.

"Ditch Windows" is a fair answer. I'm working on it.

Is this real? The alarm app requires login?

I searched it and found there were some cases of people being asked to login when they used the clock app but it appears to have been a bug.

I don’t know why that app would even have the code to request a login. It’s a clock.

Probably part of some base template Microsoft uses.

I haven't encountered this luckily. The only use case I can imagine is syncing alarms and timers across devices? But...I use timers for working, and alarms for waking up. I don't really want those to sync across devices. And it doesn't really seem worth a backup - it takes 30 seconds to set a new alarm.
