The basic clock of the Windows system tray is not overly useful and users might wish for something more advanced with more features to aid in organization. Round Clock 2005 is a clock based application with a host of additional features that make it an exceptional tool for organizing time and activities.

The application provides several, exceptionally useful features that make Round Clock a very useful tool. An alarm feature is included in the application, but it contains multiple customization options that make it far more useful than a conventional alarm. The alarm can be used to open a URL or launch another application when it goes off, making the program very versatile in how it is used.

More standard features are available, such as an analog or digital clock option, however more advanced customization is available. Users can change the clocks appearance with custom images, providing the clock with an entirely unique look if they want. Shortcuts are available that can hotkey the useful features for easy access, with an additional option to synchronize the clock to an atomic clock, one of the most accurate clocks in the world.

With the ability to schedule multiple alarms, several months in advance, the application doubles as an organizer of sorts. It could easily be used to launch documents and reminders, notes and important websites to manage your time and activities.

The application is not free and that can be a bit intimidating, especially when there is no shortage of various free applications on the market. That being said, the Round Clock 2005 goes a very long way to justify that price and beyond. Not only does it have a very modern design with a host of useful features, it has an appealing, sleek look to it that would suit any desktop.

Given how much information can be stored in it, the application includes a backup feature to save all your alarms and settings information. Users can restore their schedule should anything happen and minimize data loss. While the application might be a bit pricey for some, for those who do purchase it, they will not need another clock application.

In conclusion, while there are many clock applications on the market, most are basic and lack any real ability to customize them. Round Clock 2005 allows users to entirely change its appearance, organize their entire schedule and link it to other applications - a very good choice for any user.
