How to use the online alarm clock
Three in the morning has its own kind of silence, and an alarm for 1:25 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 1:25 am through your browser so you're not relying on a phone across the room.
Pick whichever sound you're most likely to actually notice, then press Start. The alarm is tied to this browser tab, so it needs to stay open. Minimising the window is fine, but closing the tab or the browser will stop the countdown before it ever rings.
Some people use this alongside a phone alarm rather than instead of it: a louder backup through laptop speakers, or a way to set a reminder without touching a phone at all. It won't survive the tab closing or the device sleeping, so for anything critical overnight, keep a second alarm running as well. On a 24-hour clock 1:25 am is written 01:25, and spoken aloud it's twenty-five past one at night. You'll also see it written 1.25 am — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Whether you would say set alarm for 1:25 am or put an alarm on for 1:25 am, the steps are the same: pick a sound, press Start, leave the tab open.
Common questions
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.
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.
