The best replacement for Smart Alarms that I've seen is Comment 2.0,
which, among many other things (mostly PostIt style noting) has a 
pretty good facility for leaving timed messages; it actually outdoes
Smart Alarms in terms of flexibility of setting the times for reminders.
I've been using both of them for a while and have had no problems with
Comment.

By the way, Imagine Software has discontinued *distributing* Smart Alarms.
From what I understand, the product is alive and well and being
distributed by the US branch of JAM Software, which developed Smart
Alarms in Australia.

Disclaimer: I have no connection with either JAM, Imagine, or Deneba
(which makes Comment) other than as a satisfied customer.
