How to use the online alarm clock
Three in the morning has its own kind of silence, and an alarm for 2:04 am breaks it on purpose. Whether you're catching a pre-dawn flight or grabbing a short nap before a long haul, this tool rings at 2:04 am through your browser so you're not relying on a phone across the room.
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.
It's free to use, doesn't need an account, and works the same in any modern browser, but it's honestly not meant to replace your phone for anything you can't afford to sleep through. Keep the tab open and the device awake, and it'll ring reliably at the time you set. On a 24-hour clock 2:04 am is written 02:04, and spoken aloud it's four minutes past two at night. Written the Australian way that's 2.04 am, and typed in a hurry it's often 2:04am. Whether you would say set alarm for 2:04 am or put an alarm on for 2:04 am, the steps are the same: pick a sound, press Start, leave the tab open.
Common questions
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.
Is there a cost to use this?
No, it's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you set it. It just needs the tab left open until the time you've chosen arrives.
Will the alarm still ring if I close the browser tab?
No. The alarm only runs while this tab stays open — closing it, or closing the browser entirely, stops the countdown before it can ring. Keep the tab open in the background if you need it to go off later.
