I would like to see one other ‘Fall Asleep’ mode, just a Timer.
Which would work just like the iTunes Fall Asleep function, but will work with any application.

Thanks for this program, Im actually getting a PayPal account just to donate for this program..

There are different reports on this. There seem to be differences between Macbooks/Macbook Pros or even between different revisions of them. My advice would be to leave the lid open (and that’s what I tell people) or to try it out on your own machine before relying on it.

Works fine for me, Jonas, with my MacBook Pro’s lid closed.

No, sorry. You have to leave the lid open.

Does Aurora work well when the LCD lid of MacBook is closed?

First of all thank you so much for this amazing piece of software, it really solved any problem I had with the very unpractical Awaken.

One little thing you could improve in future releases though: I have Firefox as my wakeup action to get a look at news, first thing in the morning. The problem is, that as I connect through wireless and Aurora wakes up so nice and quick, I always get an network connection error within the browser b/c of firefox starting before the network connection could be established. So how about a time constraint, kind of like the fading in for musik in the “action” panel?

Greetings from Melbourne!

Ah, thanks! I had no idea that’s how it worked.

And what about the Last.fm and ï£¿tv ideas?

Iranian radio?! Well, you can wake up to any radio station by dragging it to an empty playlist and selecting that for your alarm. I can’t access the built-in radio station browser, but putting the station in a playlist should work fine for everybody.

Last.fm and iTunes Radio integration would be really awesome. That way, you can set a specific tag or artist and wake up to streaming music. And in the case of iTunes Radio, choose a specific station. (Iranian radio!)

Maybe you’d also like to start thinking along the lines of ï£¿tv integration.
