How to use the online alarm clock
Setting an alarm for 1:29 pm in the middle of the day sounds unnecessary until you've missed a lunch meeting because you were heads-down in something else. This rings through your browser at 1:29 pm, loud enough to notice at a desk, without needing your phone within reach.
Set your preferred sound, press Start, then leave the tab where it is. Everything happens inside the browser — no background app, no notification pushed from a server — so an open tab is what actually makes the alarm ring at the right time.
Compared to a phone, this alarm has one job and nothing else competing for attention — no messages, no app switching. It's free and doesn't ask for sign-up, but it only works while the tab is open and the device stays awake, so it suits daytime use at a desk better than an overnight bedroom alarm. On a 24-hour clock 1:29 pm is written 13:29, and spoken aloud it's twenty-nine minutes past one in the afternoon. Written the Australian way that's 1.29 pm, and typed in a hurry it's often 1:29pm. Setting the alarm to 1:29 pm tomorrow morning works the same way: if the time has gone for today, the count runs through to it.
Common questions
Can I set more than one alarm at a time?
This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.
Why use a browser alarm instead of my phone's built-in one?
Mainly for reliability against silent mode, do-not-disturb, or a phone left charging out of earshot. It's a useful backup or a desk-based alternative, though it depends on this tab staying open rather than running in the background of your phone.
Is there a cost to use this?
No, it's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you set it. It just needs the tab left open until the time you've chosen arrives.
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.
