Alarms are important when we want to keep in mind a certain moment or date and we don't want it to be forgotten. Just as we can create alarms on our mobile phones, we can also set alarms on our PC like Mac and thus be notified when something specific happens on the calendar.

Tasks with Alarm
Setting an alarm in macOS is key for tasks like:
