How to use the online alarm clock
Night owls and shift workers both end up setting alarms around 11:19 pm, just for different reasons — one to stop, one to start. Pick a sound, set it for 11:19 pm, and this page will ring through your browser for as long as the tab's open.
Choose a sound before you press Start — something like a chime or a classic bell tends to work better than anything too gentle. Once it's running, the countdown happens right here in the browser, which means the tab needs to stay open in the background rather than being closed.
Compared to a phone, this alarm has one job and nothing else competing for attention — no messages, no app switching. It's free and doesn't ask for sign-up, but it only works while the tab is open and the device stays awake, so it suits daytime use at a desk better than an overnight bedroom alarm. On a 24-hour clock 11:19 pm is written 23:19, and spoken aloud it's nineteen minutes past eleven at night. Written the Australian way that's 11.19 pm, and typed in a hurry it's often 11:19pm. Set an alarm for 11:19 pm, set the alarm to 11:19 pm, set my alarm for 11:19 pm — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.
Common questions
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.
Why use a browser alarm instead of my phone's built-in one?
Mainly for reliability against silent mode, do-not-disturb, or a phone left charging out of earshot. It's a useful backup or a desk-based alternative, though it depends on this tab staying open rather than running in the background of your phone.
