Alarm Clock
Countdown Timer
Alarm Clock gives you multiple alarms and control over when your Mac stays awake, for timed reminders and long-running tasks that shouldn't be interrupted by sleep.

What you get
You get timely reminders and a Mac that stays awake when needed.
Alarm Clock gives you a way to set multiple alarms for moments you need to remember, while also preventing your Mac from sleeping during work that needs to keep running. You can use it for reminders and for keeping long renders, downloads, or other background tasks from being interrupted by sleep.
You can keep your Mac awake when you're away from the keyboard, or choose particular apps that should prevent sleep. If you work in video editing or data analysis software, you can tie that behavior to those apps rather than keeping your Mac awake for everything. You can also choose how long it stays awake to match the task at hand.
Your app data stays locally on your Mac, and the developer states that no personal data is collected. Full access is offered through monthly, yearly, or lifetime plans.
