How to use the online alarm clock
Tradies, nurses on night shift, and anyone driving to the airport before the birds wake up all end up here around 1:21 am. This alarm rings straight from your browser tab at 1:21 am, loud enough to cut through a quiet house, without needing an app or an account first.
Select a sound, hit Start, and that's the whole setup. The countdown runs inside this browser tab rather than on your device's operating system, so it needs to remain open, on a phone or laptop, until the alarm actually goes off.
Because this runs in the browser rather than on the phone's operating system, it sidesteps silent mode and do-not-disturb entirely, useful if your phone alarm has ever failed to go off for exactly that reason. Just be aware it needs the tab open and the screen or laptop lid to stay on to actually ring. On a 24-hour clock 1:21 am is written 01:21, and spoken aloud it's twenty-one minutes past one at night. You'll also see it written 1.21 am — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Set an alarm for 1:21 am, set the alarm to 1:21 am, set my alarm for 1:21 am — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.
Common questions
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.
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.
