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, 1:52 pm works as a firm nudge in the middle of the day. Set it here and it'll ring at 1:52 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.
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 1:52 pm is written 13:52, and spoken aloud it's eight minutes to two in the afternoon. You'll also see it written 1.52 pm — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Whether you would say set alarm for 1:52 pm or put an alarm on for 1:52 pm, the steps are the same: pick a sound, press Start, leave the tab open.
Common questions
Does the alarm work if my laptop goes to sleep?
Not reliably. If the device sleeps or the screen locks, the browser tab pauses along with it, so the alarm may not fire on time or at all. Adjust your power settings if you're relying on this over a longer stretch.
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.
