How to use the online alarm clock
Whether it's a reminder to leave for an appointment or the end of a lunch break that's gone on too long, 12:32 pm works as a firm nudge in the middle of the day. Set it here and it'll ring at 12:32 pm through your device's speakers until dismissed.
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.
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 12:32 pm is written 12:32, and spoken aloud it's twenty-eight minutes to one in the afternoon. Written the Australian way that's 12.32 pm, and typed in a hurry it's often 12:32pm. Set an alarm for 12:32 pm, set the alarm to 12:32 pm, set my alarm for 12:32 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.
