How to use the online alarm clock
If you're still up rather than getting up, setting this for 2:32 am gives you a hard stop. Daylight saving time or not, the sun won't be up yet. It works the same regardless of the season, ringing at 2:32 am sharp through your speakers, so you can finally close the laptop and get some sleep.
Pick whichever sound you're most likely to actually notice, then press Start. The alarm is tied to this browser tab, so it needs to stay open. Minimising the window is fine, but closing the tab or the browser will stop the countdown before it ever rings.
Compared to a phone, this alarm has one job and nothing else competing for attention — no messages, no app switching. It's free and doesn't ask for sign-up, but it only works while the tab is open and the device stays awake, so it suits daytime use at a desk better than an overnight bedroom alarm. On a 24-hour clock 2:32 am is written 02:32, and spoken aloud it's twenty-eight minutes to three at night. You'll also see it written 2.32 am — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Set an alarm for 2:32 am, set the alarm to 2:32 am, set my alarm for 2:32 am — 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.
