How to use the online alarm clock
Setting an alarm for 2:11 pm in the afternoon is often about leaving enough time to beat the traffic home, or to get to training before it starts. This page rings at 2:11 pm through your speakers. No sign-up, no app, just a tab left open.
There's a short list of sounds to choose from before you press Start — pick one that suits how deep a sleeper you are. Once it's set, the page keeps time in the background of your browser, and it'll sound at the moment you selected, provided the tab hasn't been closed.
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 2:11 pm is written 14:11, and spoken aloud it's eleven minutes past two in the afternoon. Timetables and rosters may show it as 14:11, and handwritten notes as 2.11 pm. Whether you would say set alarm for 2:11 pm or put an alarm on for 2:11 pm, the steps are the same: pick a sound, press Start, leave the tab open.
Common questions
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.
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.
