How Does a Browser Alarm Work?
An online alarm clock functions using your computer's internal clock. Here’s the process:
- Set the Time: You input the desired alarm time (e.g., 08:30 AM).
- Browser Monitoring: The website continuously checks your computer's current local time.
- Trigger the Alarm: When your system time matches the alarm time you set, the browser triggers a pre-selected audio file to play through your speakers.
Important Considerations
For an online alarm to work correctly, you must keep the browser tab open. The alarm will not sound if your computer is asleep, turned off, or if the tab is closed. It is best used for non-critical reminders like taking a break or timing a task.
Conclusion
An online alarm is a convenient tool for simple reminders throughout your day. For an easy-to-use alarm that works right in your browser, try our Online Alarm Clock.
