Online Alarm Clock

When an online alarm is useful

• A reminder for a meeting or call while you work at your computer.
• A short nap next to your laptop.
• A reminder to take medicine or take food out of the oven.
• Structuring work and break periods without picking up your phone.

How the alarm works

When you set a time, the page finds the next moment that matches it — if that time has already passed today, the alarm is set for tomorrow. It checks the time every second and, when the moment arrives, the alarm repeats until you press Stop or Snooze.

You can also enable a browser notification so an alert appears even if you are in another window. The alarm is saved in your browser, so it stays set if you refresh the page before it rings.

Important notes

• Keep the page open; the alarm cannot ring if the browser is closed or the computer goes to sleep.
• Press “Test sound” to check your volume before relying on it.
• For waking up in the morning, your phone’s alarm is still the safest choice — this alarm is designed for use while you are at your device.

For a fixed duration, use the countdown timer; for prayer reminders, see prayer times.

Setting the alarm

1. 1Enter the hour and minute in “Alarm time”.
2. 2Add a label such as “Team meeting” so it shows when the alarm rings.
3. 3Choose a sound and press “Test sound” to check the volume.
4. 4Press “Set alarm”; the time left until it rings appears at the top of the page.

A short nap with the alarm

Many people prefer a short nap of 10 to 20 minutes, which refreshes without dropping into the deep sleep that leaves you groggy. Use the quick buttons, such as “20 min”, to set one in a single tap.
