How to use the online alarm clock
An alarm at 6:24 pm in the evening is often the last nudge before something starts: a call, a class, a shift, a show you don't want to miss the start of. Set the time, choose a sound, and leave the tab open. It'll ring right on 6:24 pm.
After picking a tone, press Start and leave the page open. It doesn't need an internet connection once it's running, but it does need the tab itself to stay open, so avoid closing the browser or letting the device fall asleep before the time is reached.
This works well as a second alarm, one that isn't tangled up with phone notifications, do-not-disturb settings, or low battery. It genuinely won't ring if the tab gets closed or the device goes to sleep, so treat it as a backup or a work-desk tool rather than the only alarm for something important. On a 24-hour clock 6:24 pm is written 18:24, and spoken aloud it's twenty-four minutes past six in the evening. You'll also see it written 6.24 pm — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. If you need it loud, turn the system volume up before you start: the alarm plays at whatever the device is set to.
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.
