How to use the online alarm clock
If the afternoon has you juggling pickups, training runs, or a second job starting later, 5:19 pm is worth setting properly rather than trusting memory. This tool rings at 5:19 pm straight from your browser, loud enough to notice over the usual afternoon noise at home.
Using it is simple: pick a ringtone from the list, press Start, and leave this tab open in your browser. The alarm runs entirely on this page, so closing the browser will stop it from going off. Come back a minute early if you're not sure you trust it yet.
It's free to use, doesn't need an account, and works the same in any modern browser, but it's honestly not meant to replace your phone for anything you can't afford to sleep through. Keep the tab open and the device awake, and it'll ring reliably at the time you set. On a 24-hour clock 5:19 pm is written 17:19, and spoken aloud it's nineteen minutes past five in the evening. Timetables and rosters may show it as 17:19, and handwritten notes as 5.19 pm. Setting the alarm to 5:19 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.
