How to use the online alarm clock
Nobody sets an alarm for 1:11 am for fun. Maybe it's an early shift at the depot, a long drive before the roads get busy, or you're still awake and don't trust yourself to notice the time. Pick a sound, set it for 1:11 am, and this page will handle the rest while the house stays quiet.
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.
A browser alarm like this one is handy when your phone's on silent, charging in another room, or you just don't want to unlock it and get pulled into notifications. The trade-off is honesty: it only rings while this tab stays open, so it's not a replacement for your phone alarm on a trip where the laptop lid might close. On a 24-hour clock 1:11 am is written 01:11, and spoken aloud it's eleven minutes past one at night. You'll also see it written 1.11 am — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Set an alarm for 1:11 am, set the alarm to 1:11 am, set my alarm for 1:11 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.
