How does the Alarm Clock work?

The Alarm Clock allows you to set multiple alarms at different times. You can add as many alarms as you need, each with its own specific time. When an alarm triggers, it plays a sound notification to alert you. This tool is perfect for managing daily routines, reminders, and time-sensitive tasks.

Key features:

  • Multiple alarms: Set multiple alarms for different times
  • Add/Delete: Easily add new alarms or delete existing ones
  • Sound notification: Audible alert when the alarm triggers
  • Browser-based: Works directly in your browser without any downloads
How do I add a new alarm?

Adding a new alarm is simple and intuitive:

  • Select time: Choose the hour and minute using the time picker or type it manually
  • Add alarm: Click the "Add Alarm" or "+" button to create the alarm
  • Multiple alarms: You can add unlimited alarms for different times throughout the day
  • Visual feedback: New alarms appear instantly in the alarm list

Each alarm is displayed with its set time, making it easy to manage multiple alarms at a glance.

How do I delete an existing alarm?

Deleting an alarm is just as easy as adding one:

  • Delete individual: Click the delete (×) button next to any alarm to remove it
  • Delete all: Some versions may offer a "Clear All" option to remove all alarms at once
  • Confirmation: You may be asked to confirm before deletion to prevent accidental removal
  • Instant removal: Deleted alarms disappear immediately from the list

This allows you to keep your alarm list organized and up-to-date.

Does the alarm still work if the browser is closed?

No. The Alarm Clock relies on your browser being open and active to trigger notifications. For alarms to work, you must:

  • Keep the browser tab open – The page needs to be active or at least not closed
  • Allow notifications – Grant browser notification permissions to see and hear alerts
  • Ensure sound is enabled – Unmute your device or browser sound

For reliable alarms, consider keeping the browser tab open and ensuring your device is not in sleep mode.

Why is the alarm sound not playing?

If you're not hearing the alarm sound, check the following:

  • Browser sound is enabled: Check your browser's sound settings
  • Device sound is unmuted: Ensure your device volume is turned up
  • Notification permissions: Allow notifications for this site in your browser settings
  • Browser version: Update your browser to the latest version for compatibility
  • Check the console: Open Developer Tools (F12) and check the Console for any errors

The alarm uses the Web Audio API, which requires user interaction before playing audio for security reasons.

Can I customize the alarm sound?

  • Select sound: Choose from a library of built-in alarm sounds
  • Preview sound: Listen to a preview before selecting
  • Set default: Your preferred sound will be remembered for future alarms
