How to use the online alarm clock
Three in the morning has its own kind of silence, and an alarm for 2:07 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 2:07 am through your browser so you're not relying on a phone across the room.
Select a sound, hit Start, and that's the whole setup. The countdown runs inside this browser tab rather than on your device's operating system, so it needs to remain open, on a phone or laptop, until the alarm actually goes off.
Because this runs in the browser rather than on the phone's operating system, it sidesteps silent mode and do-not-disturb entirely, useful if your phone alarm has ever failed to go off for exactly that reason. Just be aware it needs the tab open and the screen or laptop lid to stay on to actually ring. On a 24-hour clock 2:07 am is written 02:07, and spoken aloud it's seven minutes past two at night. Timetables and rosters may show it as 02:07, and handwritten notes as 2.07 am. Whether you would say set alarm for 2:07 am or put an alarm on for 2:07 am, the steps are the same: pick a sound, press Start, leave the tab open.
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.
