Online alarm clock for 2:09 am
As your hospital night shift winds down, you are handing over patient notes, unfinished checks and anything the incoming team needs to know. An alarm set for 2:09 am can mark the point to begin that final handover without relying on a glance at the clock. It also leaves a clear stretch before 3:00 am for questions and last-minute updates.
During a hospital handover, a phone that looks ready may still be silenced. The browser alarm uses the device’s available audio, so silent mode or muted media volume can make the signal inaudible. A brief sound check before returning to the ward confirms what you will actually hear. If you close the browser page or allow the device to sleep, the alarm cannot sound, which could leave the night shift handover unfinished.
Once activity on the ward eases towards 2:09 am, voices, trolley wheels and monitor tones may become less constant, but an unexpected burst of noise can still cover a short alert. Placing the device nearby and choosing a tone distinct from the surrounding sounds makes it easier to notice without setting an unnecessarily harsh volume. The quieter moments before 3:00 am also give you a useful chance to listen for the test signal.
Common questions
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.
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.
