Keep this tab open — the alarm rings here at the time you set.

Set an online alarm

Set an alarm for a specific time of day and leave the tab open — when the time arrives, an alarm sounds. Handy for remembering a meeting, taking something out of the oven, or a quick nap.

Because browsers only play sound after you interact with the page, arm the alarm with a click and keep the tab open so it can ring at the right moment.

Alarm Clock — frequently asked questions

Will the alarm ring if I switch tabs?
Keep the tab open and it will sound at the set time; the countdown is based on the real clock, so switching tabs doesn't throw it off. If you close the tab, the alarm can't ring — this is a browser page, not a background app.
Why do I have to press a button to arm it?
Browsers block sound until you interact with the page, so arming the alarm with a click gives it permission to play later. It's a browser rule that applies to every website.
Is it free and private?
Yes — free, no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
