Overview
Gradual wake routines beat jarring alarms. Combine timers with dim displays for early hours.
Set the alarm for the time you need to be standing, and test the sound the night before with the phone plugged in.
How to use it
- Open Alarm Clock.
- Set the time, play the sound once, and leave the tab open overnight if this is a wake-up.
- Keep Morning Alarm or Gentle Wake Alarm for a second phase.
Good to know
Do not use a browser alarm as the only alert for medicine, travel, or anything unsafe to miss. A locked phone can delay it.
The tools are free on the TimerClock home page. Settings stay in this browser. The privacy policy explains what is stored.
