How to use the online alarm clock
Mornings between six and eleven are when most households actually need an alarm, not the phone buried in a bag by the door. Set this one for 6:34 am, pick something loud enough to cut through breakfast noise, and it'll ring right on 6:34 am through your laptop or desktop speakers.
Select a sound, hit Start, and that's the whole setup. The countdown runs inside this browser tab rather than on your device's operating system, so it needs to remain open, on a phone or laptop, until the alarm actually goes off.
Compared to a phone, this alarm has one job and nothing else competing for attention — no messages, no app switching. It's free and doesn't ask for sign-up, but it only works while the tab is open and the device stays awake, so it suits daytime use at a desk better than an overnight bedroom alarm. On a 24-hour clock 6:34 am is written 06:34, and spoken aloud it's twenty-six minutes to seven in the morning. Timetables and rosters may show it as 06:34, and handwritten notes as 6.34 am. Whether you would say set alarm for 6:34 am or put an alarm on for 6:34 am, the steps are the same: pick a sound, press Start, leave the tab open.
Common questions
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.
Why use a browser alarm instead of my phone's built-in one?
Mainly for reliability against silent mode, do-not-disturb, or a phone left charging out of earshot. It's a useful backup or a desk-based alternative, though it depends on this tab staying open rather than running in the background of your phone.
Is there a cost to use this?
No, it's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you set it. It just needs the tab left open until the time you've chosen arrives.
