How to use the online alarm clock
Between three and six, most households are managing some kind of handover: work to home, school to training. An alarm for 2:15 pm helps keep it on schedule. Set it here and it'll ring right on 2:15 pm until you tell it to stop.
Using it is simple: pick a ringtone from the list, press Start, and leave this tab open in your browser. The alarm runs entirely on this page, so closing the browser will stop it from going off. Come back a minute early if you're not sure you trust it yet.
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 2:15 pm is written 14:15, and spoken aloud it's quarter past two in the afternoon. Written the Australian way that's 2.15 pm, and typed in a hurry it's often 2:15pm. Whether you would say set alarm for 2:15 pm or put an alarm on for 2:15 pm, the steps are the same: pick a sound, press Start, leave the tab open.
Common questions
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.
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.
