How to use the online alarm clock
An alarm for 1:19 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 1:19 am it'll ring through your device's speakers until you tell it to stop.
After picking a tone, press Start and leave the page open. It doesn't need an internet connection once it's running, but it does need the tab itself to stay open, so avoid closing the browser or letting the device fall asleep before the time is reached.
It's free to use, doesn't need an account, and works the same in any modern browser, but it's honestly not meant to replace your phone for anything you can't afford to sleep through. Keep the tab open and the device awake, and it'll ring reliably at the time you set. On a 24-hour clock 1:19 am is written 01:19, and spoken aloud it's nineteen minutes past one at night. You'll also see it written 1.19 am — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Set an alarm for 1:19 am, set the alarm to 1:19 am, set my alarm for 1:19 am — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.
Common questions
Will the alarm still ring if I close the browser tab?
No. The alarm only runs while this tab stays open — closing it, or closing the browser entirely, stops the countdown before it can ring. Keep the tab open in the background if you need it to go off later.
Does the alarm work if my laptop goes to sleep?
Not reliably. If the device sleeps or the screen locks, the browser tab pauses along with it, so the alarm may not fire on time or at all. Adjust your power settings if you're relying on this over a longer stretch.
Do I need to create an account or download anything?
No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.
Can I change the alarm sound?
Yes, there's a short list of tones to choose from before you press Start. Pick whichever one you're most likely to actually hear — softer sounds are easier to sleep through than a firm chime or bell.
