How to use the online alarm clock
Three in the morning has its own kind of silence, and an alarm for 1:03 am breaks it on purpose. Whether you're catching a pre-dawn flight or grabbing a short nap before a long haul, this tool rings at 1:03 am through your browser so you're not relying on a phone across the room.
Start by selecting a tone from the dropdown, then hit Start to lock it in. From that point the page does the counting, and it'll ring once the time is reached, but only if the tab is still open somewhere on your device. Closing it, or the browser entirely, cancels the alarm.
This works well as a second alarm, one that isn't tangled up with phone notifications, do-not-disturb settings, or low battery. It genuinely won't ring if the tab gets closed or the device goes to sleep, so treat it as a backup or a work-desk tool rather than the only alarm for something important. On a 24-hour clock 1:03 am is written 01:03, and spoken aloud it's three minutes past one at night. You'll also see it written 1.03 am — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Set an alarm for 1:03 am, set the alarm to 1:03 am, set my alarm for 1:03 am — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.
Common questions
What happens once the alarm goes off?
It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?
It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.
Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?
Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.
Can I set more than one alarm at a time?
This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.
