How to use the online alarm clock
Setting an alarm for 5:20 pm in the afternoon is often about leaving enough time to beat the traffic home, or to get to training before it starts. This page rings at 5:20 pm through your speakers. No sign-up, no app, just a tab left open.
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 5:20 pm is written 17:20, and spoken aloud it's twenty past five in the evening. Written the Australian way that's 5.20 pm, and typed in a hurry it's often 5:20pm. Whether you would say set alarm for 5:20 pm or put an alarm on for 5:20 pm, the steps are the same: pick a sound, press Start, leave the tab open.
Common questions
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.
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.
