How to use the online alarm clock
If the evening is when you get things done — an assignment, a load of washing, dinner prep — 7:35 pm is a sensible time to set a firm reminder. This tool rings at 7:35 pm through your laptop or desktop speakers, whether the tab's open on the kitchen bench or the desk.
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.
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 7:35 pm is written 19:35, and spoken aloud it's twenty-five to eight in the evening. Written the Australian way that's 7.35 pm, and typed in a hurry it's often 7:35pm. 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
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.
Will the alarm still ring if I close the browser tab?
No. The alarm only runs while this tab stays open — closing it, or closing the browser entirely, stops the countdown before it can ring. Keep the tab open in the background if you need it to go off later.
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.
