There's this thing called web search now.  I was curious, so I did the
search.  Here are the results.

Akonadi is a storage service for personal information management data
and metadata named after the oracle goddess of justice in Ghana. It is
one of the "pillars" behind the KDE SC 4 project, although it is
designed to be used in any desktop environment. It is extensible and
provides concurrent read, write, and query...

Baloo is the file indexing and file search framework for KDE Plasma,
with a focus on providing a very small memory footprint along with with
extremely fast searching.

If akonadi is crashing, it is probably misconfigured.  Do you have a
configuration file in home that is old, that has come through many
upgrades?  Try moving it to a backup name, and letting akonadi write a
new configuration file on your next reboot.

baloo is indexing, and storing, things so that lookups can
be very fast when you are looking for something.

Try to remove KDE alarm and see if it wants to remove akonadi.  i.e. it
has a dependency on it.  It might be integrated.  You could also try
disabling akonadi and see if kde alarm still works.  I suspect the
answer is no, but I am just guessing.
