How to use the online alarm clock
If you're clocking on for a night shift around 11:49 pm, relying on a phone alarm across the room isn't always enough. This rings straight from your browser at 11:49 pm, loud enough to cut through a quiet house before you head out the door.
After picking a tone, press Start and leave the page open. It doesn't need an internet connection once it's running, but it does need the tab itself to stay open, so avoid closing the browser or letting the device fall asleep before the time is reached.
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 11:49 pm is written 23:49, and spoken aloud it's eleven minutes to twelve at night. You'll also see it written 11.49 pm — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Set an alarm for 11:49 pm, set the alarm to 11:49 pm, set my alarm for 11:49 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.
