How to use the online alarm clock
An alarm for 2:25 am is usually about catching something before the rest of the world is awake: a ferry, a flight, or a change of shift. Set the time, pick a tone, and leave this tab open. At 2:25 am it'll ring through your device's speakers 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.
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 2:25 am is written 02:25, and spoken aloud it's twenty-five past two at night. Timetables and rosters may show it as 02:25, and handwritten notes as 2.25 am. Set an alarm for 2:25 am, set the alarm to 2:25 am, set my alarm for 2:25 am — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.
Common questions
Will the alarm still ring if I close the browser tab?
No. The alarm only runs while this tab stays open — closing it, or closing the browser entirely, stops the countdown before it can ring. Keep the tab open in the background if you need it to go off later.
Does the alarm work if my laptop goes to sleep?
Not reliably. If the device sleeps or the screen locks, the browser tab pauses along with it, so the alarm may not fire on time or at all. Adjust your power settings if you're relying on this over a longer stretch.
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.
