How to use the online alarm clock
An evening alarm at 6:40 pm is usually about getting dinner started, leaving for a night class, or reminding the kids it's nearly bedtime. Set it once, pick a sound that won't be lost in the evening noise, and this page will ring at 6:40 pm through your speakers.
Start by selecting a tone from the dropdown, then hit Start to lock it in. From that point the page does the counting, and it'll ring once the time is reached, but only if the tab is still open somewhere on your device. Closing it, or the browser entirely, cancels the alarm.
A browser alarm like this one is handy when your phone's on silent, charging in another room, or you just don't want to unlock it and get pulled into notifications. The trade-off is honesty: it only rings while this tab stays open, so it's not a replacement for your phone alarm on a trip where the laptop lid might close. On a 24-hour clock 6:40 pm is written 18:40, and spoken aloud it's twenty to seven in the evening. Written the Australian way that's 6.40 pm, and typed in a hurry it's often 6:40pm. Whether you would say set alarm for 6:40 pm or put an alarm on for 6:40 pm, the steps are the same: pick a sound, press Start, leave the tab open.
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.
