How to use the online alarm clock
Shift workers switching over around midday often need an alarm that isn't tied to their phone being nearby. This one rings at 1:41 pm straight from the browser tab, so a laptop left open on the kitchen table can do the job just as well.
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.
It's free to use, doesn't need an account, and works the same in any modern browser, but it's honestly not meant to replace your phone for anything you can't afford to sleep through. Keep the tab open and the device awake, and it'll ring reliably at the time you set. On a 24-hour clock 1:41 pm is written 13:41, and spoken aloud it's nineteen minutes to two in the afternoon. Timetables and rosters may show it as 13:41, and handwritten notes as 1.41 pm. Set an alarm for 1:41 pm, set the alarm to 1:41 pm, set my alarm for 1:41 pm — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.
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.
