How to use the online alarm clock
An alarm at 1:26 am in the dead of night usually means a red-eye flight, a delivery run, or a newborn's next feed. This sets a browser alarm for 1:26 am that rings through your laptop speakers, so you don't need to fumble for your phone in the dark. Leave the tab open and it'll do the waking for you.
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 1:26 am is written 01:26, and spoken aloud it's twenty-six minutes past one at night. Timetables and rosters may show it as 01:26, and handwritten notes as 1.26 am. Whether you would say set alarm for 1:26 am or put an alarm on for 1:26 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.
