Online alarm clock for 8:25 pm

Wrapping up and heading away from the screen at 8:25 pm makes sense when the match has not started yet. Set the alarm for the moment you want to return, then finish what you are doing without repeatedly checking the clock. With 9:00 pm approaching, the signal can mark the end of that last job and give you time to settle in before the broadcast gets under way.

Your match plans depend on the browser continuing to run the alarm after you leave the screen. If you close the tab or browser, or let your device go to sleep, the alarm cannot sound and the television match may begin without you. Keeping the page active in the background allows the timer to continue, while sufficient volume makes the alert easier to hear from another room. A quick sound check before walking away can reveal muted audio or a speaker set too low.

A late-evening match can make a full meal at 8:25 pm feel rushed, especially if you want to be seated before play begins. Something simple, such as fruit, toast or a small bowl of yoghurt, is easier to fit into the available time. Water or a cuppa can be prepared beforehand; a larger meal is more comfortably left until a proper break or after the match.

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.
