How to use the online alarm clock
Pull yourself away from what you are doing when the 9:57 pm alarm sounds, put your phone aside, and begin getting ready for bed. The alert gives you a clear stopping point rather than leaving you to notice that the evening has slipped away. With 10:00 pm only three minutes later, there is enough time to finish one small action, such as sending a final message or saving what you are reading, before switching tasks.
Keep the alarm page active while you wait for the signal, especially if you are using those last minutes to wrap something up. Ending the browser session or allowing the screen to sleep may prevent the alarm from sounding, so your phone could remain in your hand instead of being put away. Check that the volume is audible, leave the page visible, and avoid relying on this browser alarm if you expect to lock the screen before 9:57 pm.
Make the change from a bright UAE evening routine feel deliberate by adjusting the room before the alarm. Dim overhead lights, close the curtains against illuminated streets or neighbouring towers, and leave only the lamp needed for your final few minutes. When 9:57 pm arrives, the darker setting already marks the transition: place the phone beyond easy reach and continue your bedtime preparations without another bright screen nearby.
Common questions
Can I use the same feature on a phone?
You can use the page on a smartphone and follow the countdown until 9:57 pm. The browser may lose permission to stay active once the phone locks or another app takes over, which can suppress the audio, so a mains-powered desktop or laptop is the more reliable choice when the reminder is important.
Will the alarm still sound after I close this tab?
No. An alarm set for 9:57 pm runs within the open webpage, so closing its tab or exiting the browser stops it. You can move to another tab or minimise the browser while you work; just keep the alarm page loaded.
If I close the tab, will the alarm still go off?
Closing the tab cancels the alarm because the timer for 9:57 pm is handled by that page, not by your device as a separate system alarm. Leaving the page open in the background is fine, even if another tab is on screen.
Does closing the browser tab stop the alarm from ringing?
The page must remain open for the 9:57 pm alarm to sound. Switching tabs, minimising the window, or using another application will not end it, but closing the alarm tab or quitting the browser will.
