How to use the online alarm clock
Whether it's a reminder to leave for an appointment or the end of a lunch break that's gone on too long, 1:25 pm works as a firm nudge in the middle of the day. Set it here and it'll ring at 1:25 pm through your device's speakers until dismissed.
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.
Unlike a phone alarm, this one won't ring if you close the tab, put the computer to sleep, or shut the lid, so it suits a desk, a kitchen bench, or anywhere the device stays powered on and awake. It's free to use and doesn't need an account, but it's not built for unattended overnight use. On a 24-hour clock 1:25 pm is written 13:25, and spoken aloud it's twenty-five past one in the afternoon. You'll also see it written 1.25 pm — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Setting the alarm to 1:25 pm tomorrow morning works the same way: if the time has gone for today, the count runs through to it.
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.
