How to use the online alarm clock
An evening alarm at 7:34 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 7:34 pm through your speakers.
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.
Because this runs in the browser rather than on the phone's operating system, it sidesteps silent mode and do-not-disturb entirely, useful if your phone alarm has ever failed to go off for exactly that reason. Just be aware it needs the tab open and the screen or laptop lid to stay on to actually ring. On a 24-hour clock 7:34 pm is written 19:34, and spoken aloud it's twenty-six minutes to eight in the evening. Written the Australian way that's 7.34 pm, and typed in a hurry it's often 7:34pm. Whether you would say set alarm for 7:34 pm or put an alarm on for 7:34 pm, the steps are the same: pick a sound, press Start, leave the tab open.
Common questions
Does the alarm work if my laptop goes to sleep?
Not reliably. If the device sleeps or the screen locks, the browser tab pauses along with it, so the alarm may not fire on time or at all. Adjust your power settings if you're relying on this over a longer stretch.
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.
