How to use the online alarm clock
An afternoon alarm at 2:09 pm works well for anyone who's ducked away for a quick rest and doesn't trust themselves to wake up on their own. Set the time, choose a tone, and leave the tab open. It'll ring at 2:09 pm through your laptop or desktop speakers.
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 2:09 pm is written 14:09, and spoken aloud it's nine minutes past two in the afternoon. Written the Australian way that's 2.09 pm, and typed in a hurry it's often 2:09pm. Set an alarm for 2:09 pm, set the alarm to 2:09 pm, set my alarm for 2:09 pm — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.
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.
