How to use the online alarm clock
Some people set this for 9:35 am because their phone alarm gets silenced by early notifications; others just want a second, louder reminder. Either way, pick 9:35 am, choose a sound, press start, and leave the tab open. It'll ring at 9:35 am until you close it or hit stop.
Choose a sound before you press Start — something like a chime or a classic bell tends to work better than anything too gentle. Once it's running, the countdown happens right here in the browser, which means the tab needs to stay open in the background rather than being closed.
The advantage of a browser alarm is volume and reliability at a desk: laptop speakers are often louder and easier to hear across a room than a phone left in a bag. The catch is that it depends entirely on the tab staying open; if the browser closes or the laptop sleeps, the alarm won't fire. On a 24-hour clock 9:35 am is written 09:35, and spoken aloud it's twenty-five to ten in the morning. Timetables and rosters may show it as 09:35, and handwritten notes as 9.35 am. Set an alarm for 9:35 am, set the alarm to 9:35 am, set my alarm for 9:35 am — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.
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.
