How to use the online alarm clock
If you're clocking on for a night shift around 10:22 pm, relying on a phone alarm across the room isn't always enough. This rings straight from your browser at 10:22 pm, loud enough to cut through a quiet house before you head out the door.
Pick whichever sound you're most likely to actually notice, then press Start. The alarm is tied to this browser tab, so it needs to stay open. Minimising the window is fine, but closing the tab or the browser will stop the countdown before it ever rings.
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 10:22 pm is written 22:22, and spoken aloud it's twenty-two minutes past ten at night. Written the Australian way that's 10.22 pm, and typed in a hurry it's often 10:22pm. Set an alarm for 10:22 pm, set the alarm to 10:22 pm, set my alarm for 10:22 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.
