How to use the online alarm clock
Night owls and shift workers both end up setting alarms around 11:10 pm, just for different reasons — one to stop, one to start. Pick a sound, set it for 11:10 pm, and this page will ring through your browser for as long as the tab's open.
Select a sound, hit Start, and that's the whole setup. The countdown runs inside this browser tab rather than on your device's operating system, so it needs to remain open, on a phone or laptop, until the alarm actually goes off.
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 11:10 pm is written 23:10, and spoken aloud it's ten past eleven at night. Written the Australian way that's 11.10 pm, and typed in a hurry it's often 11:10pm. Set an alarm for 11:10 pm, set the alarm to 11:10 pm, set my alarm for 11:10 pm — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.
Common questions
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.
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.
