Calculation Basis
A periodic interval timer compares the current time with your alarm list every second and synthesizes a tone via the Web Audio API on a match.
Usage Examples

Examples
- 12:00 alarm, label 'Lunch' → rings at 12:00
- 09:00 alarm, label 'Prep meeting' → alerts with sound and text at 09:00
Cautions

- Depending on your browser settings, audio playback permission (unmute) may be required.
Guides
Test the alarm audio
To check that the alarm sounds correctly, press the 'Test alarm sound' button at the top. The browser's sound must be on.
Keep the screen on
If the device sleeps or the browser tab is killed in the background, the alarm may be delayed or skipped, so keeping the screen on is recommended.
FAQ
Does the alarm ring if I close the window?
No. The browser window or tab must stay open for it to work.
What if there is no sound?
Check that the browser is not muted and that audio playback permission is allowed.
