Online alarm clock for 4:55 pm
Waking at 4:55 pm with a storm approaching means the windows need your attention before anything else. Set the alarm for this time, take a moment to get properly awake, then check each room rather than assuming everything was shut earlier. You can have the windows secured by 5:00 pm and still pause to look for anything outside that should come under cover.
While you are getting ready to check the windows, confirm where the alarm sound will play. A phone may quietly route audio to earbuds or headphones left connected nearby, so test the volume through the output you will actually hear. Keep the browser alarm active and the phone awake until 4:55 pm; otherwise it will stay silent, and the windows could remain open when the storm arrives.
Moving through the house in the late afternoon gives you useful clues about what is happening outside. Turn down music or other indoor audio while checking the latches, and listen for rain strengthening, wind around the eaves, or a sudden drop in neighbourhood noise. At this hour, traffic, a neighbour’s mower or birds can mask the first change, so check the sky as well as relying on sound before settling back indoors.
Common questions
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.
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.
