How to use the online alarm clock

Five minutes is barely enough time to do much of anything, which is exactly why it's such a commonly used alarm setting. It's the classic snooze length, the time it takes a kettle to boil, or the window before a parking meter runs out and a fine becomes a real possibility.

It's also popular for small kitchen jobs — resting meat before carving, letting toast finish, or timing the last few minutes of something already most of the way cooked. Because five minutes passes so fast, an alarm is far more reliable than trying to remember to check back.

This preset sets an alarm for exactly five minutes from now, no manual clock maths required. It's one of the shortest and most frequently used presets on the site, precisely because five-minute windows come up constantly throughout an ordinary day.
