How to use the online alarm clock
School pickup, footy training, or just leaving work on time: 3:41 pm in the afternoon is a common deadline people don't want to miss. This rings straight from your browser at 3:41 pm, and keeps going until you stop it. No phone required nearby.
Set your preferred sound, press Start, then leave the tab where it is. Everything happens inside the browser — no background app, no notification pushed from a server — so an open tab is what actually makes the alarm ring at the right time.
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 3:41 pm is written 15:41, and spoken aloud it's nineteen minutes to four in the afternoon. You'll also see it written 3.41 pm — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Setting the alarm to 3:41 pm tomorrow morning works the same way: if the time has gone for today, the count runs through to it.
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.
