How to use the online alarm clock
An alarm for 1:08 am is usually about catching something before the rest of the world is awake: a ferry, a flight, or a change of shift. Set the time, pick a tone, and leave this tab open. At 1:08 am it'll ring through your device's speakers until you tell it to stop.
Using it is simple: pick a ringtone from the list, press Start, and leave this tab open in your browser. The alarm runs entirely on this page, so closing the browser will stop it from going off. Come back a minute early if you're not sure you trust it yet.
Compared to a phone, this alarm has one job and nothing else competing for attention — no messages, no app switching. It's free and doesn't ask for sign-up, but it only works while the tab is open and the device stays awake, so it suits daytime use at a desk better than an overnight bedroom alarm. On a 24-hour clock 1:08 am is written 01:08, and spoken aloud it's eight minutes past one at night. Timetables and rosters may show it as 01:08, and handwritten notes as 1.08 am. Whether you would say set alarm for 1:08 am or put an alarm on for 1:08 am, the steps are the same: pick a sound, press Start, leave the tab open.
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.
