How to use the online alarm clock
If evenings tend to slip away in front of a screen, setting an alarm for 8:32 pm gives you a fixed point to stop and do something else. This page rings at 8:32 pm through your device's speakers until you dismiss it.
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.
It's free to use, doesn't need an account, and works the same in any modern browser, but it's honestly not meant to replace your phone for anything you can't afford to sleep through. Keep the tab open and the device awake, and it'll ring reliably at the time you set. On a 24-hour clock 8:32 pm is written 20:32, and spoken aloud it's twenty-eight minutes to nine at night. You'll also see it written 8.32 pm — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Whether you would say set alarm for 8:32 pm or put an alarm on for 8:32 pm, the steps are the same: pick a sound, press Start, leave the tab open.
Common questions
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.
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.
