I use a dedicated alarm clock. Recently, I have built my own: <https://masysma.net/37/dcf77_vfd_raspi_clock.xhtml https://masysma.net/37/dcf77_vfd_raspi_clock.xhtml> Before that (and now for redundancy, I think my own one still has some minor bugs), I used a cheap one by "OK" <https://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_ok-ocr-310-2172968.html https://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_ok-ocr-310-2172968.htm...>. I don't like that I have to mash some tiny buttons to set the "OK" up and also to stop it. The LED that shows that the alarm is active is also hard to read for me. Hence I tried to improve upon this in my own design. I also found a solution to avoid the backup battery, but it is probably not what the "general public" would like to have either :)
