How to use the online alarm clock
If daylight's still up but the day's winding down, 3:26 pm can mark the point where afternoon chores need to stop and the evening routine needs to start. Set it here, choose a sound, and it'll ring at 3:26 pm until dismissed.
Select a sound, hit Start, and that's the whole setup. The countdown runs inside this browser tab rather than on your device's operating system, so it needs to remain open, on a phone or laptop, until the alarm actually goes off.
Unlike a phone alarm, this one won't ring if you close the tab, put the computer to sleep, or shut the lid, so it suits a desk, a kitchen bench, or anywhere the device stays powered on and awake. It's free to use and doesn't need an account, but it's not built for unattended overnight use. On a 24-hour clock 3:26 pm is written 15:26, and spoken aloud it's twenty-six minutes past three in the afternoon. Timetables and rosters may show it as 15:26, and handwritten notes as 3.26 pm. Set an alarm for 3:26 pm, set the alarm to 3:26 pm, set my alarm for 3:26 pm — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.
Common questions
Is there a cost to use this?
No, it's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you set it. It just needs the tab left open until the time you've chosen arrives.
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.
