I Built a Free Online Alarm Clock That Runs in Your Browser — Here's How

The Problem

Every time I needed a quick timer while working at my laptop,
I grabbed my phone. Then saw notifications. Then lost 20 minutes.

There had to be a better way.

The Solution

I built AlarmOnline24 — a completely browser-based alarm
clock
. No app, no download, no sign-up.

👉 alarmonline24.com

Features

  • Quick presets: 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 min, 1hr, 2hr
  • Multiple alarm sounds + volume control
  • Real-time countdown & progress tracker
  • Dark mode
  • Works on PC, Mac, iPhone, Android
  • 100% free — forever

Tech Stack

  • Vanilla JavaScript (Web Audio API for sound)
  • Pure CSS (fully responsive)
  • No frameworks, no dependencies
  • Runs entirely client-side

Why No Framework?

Speed. A timer should load in milliseconds.
No React, no Vue — just fast, clean code.

Would love feedback from the DEV community! 🙏
