Online alarm clock for 5:06 am
While you watch the minutes at 5:06 am, your swim gear is packed and you are waiting for the cue to leave for a pool session before work. Setting the alarm for this exact moment gives you a clear boundary between waiting and heading out, well before 6:00 am brings the rest of the morning into motion.
A pool start this early leaves little room to discover that the alert is too quiet. Test the signal now, while you can still adjust the volume and choose a sound you will notice from where you are waiting. Keep a separate alarm as a backup: this browser alarm can remain silent if its page is dismissed or your phone falls asleep, which could leave your pool departure without a prompt.
Because others in the house may still be asleep, place the phone close enough to hear at a moderate volume instead of sending a loud alert through every room. Keep keys, towel and goggles together near the exit so the 5:06 am signal leads to a quiet departure, with no searching through cupboards or switching on bright hallway lights.
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.
