How to use the online alarm clock
Midday shifts, split rosters, and long lunch breaks all make 11:50 am a useful checkpoint. Choose a sound, set this for 11:50 am, and leave the tab open. It'll ring right through your laptop speakers whether you're at a desk or on the couch during a break.
Set your preferred sound, press Start, then leave the tab where it is. Everything happens inside the browser — no background app, no notification pushed from a server — so an open tab is what actually makes the alarm ring at the right time.
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 11:50 am is written 11:50, and spoken aloud it's ten to twelve in the afternoon. Written the Australian way that's 11.50 am, and typed in a hurry it's often 11:50am. Setting the alarm to 11:50 am tomorrow morning works the same way: if the time has gone for today, the count runs through to it.
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.
