Now I ran a test and did not use the App for 2 weeks: No kernel panics..
Since I did not change any of my other settings or app usage i am pretty confident "Alarms" has a severe bug.
I really want to use this App. But i cannot risk stability of my OS.

Pros: Great interface, fun and very easy to use, lots of respect to details. "Drag to set timer" feature is awesome. Developer is friendly and responds fast.
Cons: I'd liked to have a few extra "features", but these may spoil the simplicity of the app.

I.e. the first that springs to mind is in the calendar, "Week starts on Monday".
Until then I'll hold my purchase.

Otherwise, OS X's prefs panel for selecting language, date, currency etc. is more often than not flawed if you want english as language but still want your date, currency etc. in your local type display. I seriously wish Apple could take some hints from other OS's here because their variant feels like they've only learnt of other countries (than Cali) from books.
For anyone who doesn't get what I'm talking about there is several posts/guides spanning the globe on how to access these things manually via the terminal. Any person living outside of the US have certainly come across that garbled garbage OS X displays mixing selected system language with a local one used for days etc. Not a very sleek solution in an otherwise beautiful and smart OS X but that's for another thread.
Thank you FJOACHIM, for helping me. I'll go and play with Alarms now.

It could use a few options though, such as the ability to have it increase your timer in increments of minutes instead of seconds when dragging away from icon. Also being able to run scripts or even some custom events instead of just the system notification sounds (yes I realize you could just drag a script to do this, but it would be nice).
A few minor interface tweeks would add to the app also, such as being able to select a colour icon. Have a "TODAY" button to bring one back to the current date. add "preferences" to the command-click menu.
All minor items, but would useful.
