How to use the online alarm clock
Late alarms around 10:00 pm usually mean a night shift is about to start, or a last reminder before bed actually happens. This rings straight from your browser at 10:00 pm, so a laptop left open on the nightstand can do the waking without needing a phone charging nearby.
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.
Some people use this alongside a phone alarm rather than instead of it: a louder backup through laptop speakers, or a way to set a reminder without touching a phone at all. It won't survive the tab closing or the device sleeping, so for anything critical overnight, keep a second alarm running as well. On a 24-hour clock 10:00 pm is written 22:00, and spoken aloud it's ten o'clock at night. Timetables and rosters may show it as 22:00, and handwritten notes as 10.00 pm. Whether you would say set alarm for 10:00 pm or put an alarm on for 10:00 pm, 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.
