Online alarm clock for 8:31 pm
You are watching the clock for the moment to leave for your evening course at college, and an alarm for 8:31 pm can keep that departure from slipping past. With 9:00 pm approaching, there is still time to gather your notebook, check the journey and get your coat without repeatedly checking the minute display.
Your college departure depends on the browser continuing to run this alarm after you set it. You can move to another tab while you wait, but keep the alarm page open and leave your computer or phone awake; if the page is closed or the device goes to sleep, the college reminder will not sound. Check that the volume is audible over music or television, then leave the alarm visible among your open tabs so it is easy to confirm.
Because the course falls in the evening, treat the period after 8:31 pm as a buffer for the next commitment, not as spare time to fill. Put anything needed later tonight—keys, travel card or a note about the journey—in one place before leaving. That preserves a little room for a delayed bus or a last-minute platform change while keeping the rest of the evening manageable.
Common questions
Do I need an account or an app?
Neither. Choose a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs in this browser tab. Nothing is downloaded, nothing is registered, and closing the page leaves nothing behind on the device.
Can I change the sound?
Yes, there is a short list of tones to pick from before you press Start. Softer sounds are easy to sleep through, so a firmer bell tends to be the safer choice for anything early in the morning.
Will it still be right when the clocks change?
Yes. It reads your device's local clock, so the move between GMT and BST at the end of March and October is picked up automatically, as long as the computer's date, time and time zone are set correctly.
Can I use this on a phone?
It works in a mobile browser, but phones lock the screen and suspend background tabs far more readily than a laptop does, which can stop the alarm sounding. For anything important, a desktop or a plugged-in laptop is the steadier option.
