How to use the online alarm clock
Late-night study or a last email before bed can run past 10:32 pm without anyone noticing, which is exactly what this alarm is for. Set it here and it'll ring at 10:32 pm through your speakers, a firm enough nudge to actually close the laptop.
There's a short list of sounds to choose from before you press Start — pick one that suits how deep a sleeper you are. Once it's set, the page keeps time in the background of your browser, and it'll sound at the moment you selected, provided the tab hasn't been closed.
A browser alarm like this one is handy when your phone's on silent, charging in another room, or you just don't want to unlock it and get pulled into notifications. The trade-off is honesty: it only rings while this tab stays open, so it's not a replacement for your phone alarm on a trip where the laptop lid might close. On a 24-hour clock 10:32 pm is written 22:32, and spoken aloud it's twenty-eight minutes to eleven at night. You'll also see it written 10.32 pm — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Set an alarm for 10:32 pm, set the alarm to 10:32 pm, set my alarm for 10:32 pm — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.
Common questions
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.
Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?
Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.
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.
