How to use the online alarm clock
If the evening is when you get things done — an assignment, a load of washing, dinner prep — 9:58 pm is a sensible time to set a firm reminder. This tool rings at 9:58 pm through your laptop or desktop speakers, whether the tab's open on the kitchen bench or the desk.
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.
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 9:58 pm is written 21:58, and spoken aloud it's two minutes to ten at night. Written the Australian way that's 9.58 pm, and typed in a hurry it's often 9:58pm. Whether you would say set alarm for 9:58 pm or put an alarm on for 9:58 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.
