Like to get a drink / Bio before raid and need something to remind you it's time to get going? How about an annoying alarm!
Koda Raid Alarm
Never miss raid invites again. Koda Raid Alarm is a tiny, set-and-forget alarm clock for your weekly raid nights. Set your raid days and start time once, and it gives you a countdown bar before raid and a loud alarm when it's time to log in and get in there.
No libraries, no bloat, no setup beyond picking a day and a time.
Features
- Weekly raid schedule – pick any combination of raid days and a start time.
- Time zone support – enter the time the way your guild posts it. Choose realm (server) time, your computer's clock, or a specific zone:
- US Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona
- UK / Central Europe / Eastern Europe, Moscow, UTC
- Brazil, Australia (Sydney/Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth), New Zealand, Korea/Japan, Taiwan/China
- Daylight saving handled automatically – US, EU, Australia and NZ changeovers are built in, so your alarm doesn't drift an hour twice a year.
- Live time conversion – the settings window shows your next raid in your chosen zone, in realm time, and on your PC clock, so you can confirm it's set right at a glance.
- Countdown bar – a break-timer style bar appears 5 minutes before raid (adjustable, 0–60 minutes) and turns red in the final minute.
- Raid-time alarm – raid warning message, ready-check sound and alarm-clock chimes, plus your taskbar icon flashes.
- Works while alt-tabbed – optional setting makes sure you hear the alarm even when WoW is in the background.
- Movable bar – drag it anywhere on screen.
- Lightweight – one small file, no dependencies.
Getting Started
- Type /krt in game.
- Tick your raid days.
- Enter your raid start time and choose the time zone it's posted in.
- Check the info box to confirm the realm and local times look right.
- Hit Test alert to hear and see what it'll do.
That's it. It runs quietly in the background from then on.

FAQ
I can't hear the alarm.
The alarm plays on the Master channel, so it works even with sound effects off, but not if Master volume is 0 or all sound is disabled. If you're alt-tabbed, make sure "Play the alarm even when WoW is alt-tabbed" is ticked in /krt.
Which time zone should I pick? Whatever your guild uses when they post the raid time. If they say "7pm server," pick Realm (server) time. If they say "8pm Eastern," pick US Eastern. The info box shows the conversion so you can double-check.
Does it work if I log in during the countdown?
Yes. If you log in or /reload inside the warning window, the bar picks up where it should be. Alerts only fire once per raid.
Does it share timers with my raid like DBM/BigWigs break timers? No. This is a personal alarm for you. It doesn't send anything to your group.
