The Best Online Alarm Clock Websites

here was a time when we used to keep an alarm clock by our bed and bet on that to wake us up each morning. While most of those devices must have been replaced by your mobile phone features, there a few people (including me) who still use them.

However, waking up in the morning is not the only thing you use an alarm for, do you? Whether you need to take a short nap at work, or just want to be reminded about something at a specified time, an alarm can always come to the rescue. In such scenarios, I would say that an online alarm clock is a good placeholder. And, that’s because it is easy and quick to open a browser tab, set an alarm and minimize it so that it doesn’t interfere with what you are doing.

Let us check out 10 cool and simple online alarm clocks and find the one that suits you best.

Alarm clocks that work 

 

No one loves an alarm clock. But if you've missed more than a few morning meetings, you may be ready for one you love to hate.

A money-shredding alarm clock might fit the bill: It shreds bills if you don't get up. Or how about one that dials random numbers, like your boss's, from your cell phone until you wake up? In truth, these are only design concepts. (Whew!)

Instead, consider one of these 10 real alarm clocks that use nightmarish methods to rouse—or at least seriously annoy—heavy sleepers.

At first stroke, Met's speaking clock bill will be... £17,000

The Met last year spent nearly £17,000 in 55,000 calls to the speaking clock, figures show today.

Officers and staff also spent more than £95,000 calling directory enquiries, according to details released under the Freedom of Information Act. The sums involved were branded a "waste of taxpayers' money".

The force's spending on the speaking clock last year, which costs 31p a time, was £16,879. The amount is down on the previous year, when £18,401.65 was spent on the speaking clock and £121,501.10 on directory enquiries.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said both premium-rate services were essential to the day-to-day requirements of employees, adding: "There are evidential and operational reasons for officers and staff requiring the exact time and contact details.
"It must be remembered however that a huge number of our officers will not have direct access to the internet as they are not office-based. We are committed to reducing such costs wherever possible and all directory enquiries from landline tele-phones are routed to one service."

The story of the speaking clock in Britain

Precisely! It needed just four words to tell you this article is about the speaking clock. Known officially as Timeline and more commonly as plain TIM, the speaking clock is one of those essential features of everyday life to which you give scarcely a second thought It's there when you want it and that's it, isn't it?

Well, yes and well, no. In fact it hasn't always been there and it has changed over the years. And there's quite a bit more to TIM than history, as I found out when I started to dig out a bit of information about this national institution.

Synchronised

Institution is probably a fair word since as a nation we seem to be remarkably keen on ringing up the speaking clock. Even in its first year, 1936, the service registered nearly 13 million calls and it was not a nationwide service then—that came six years later. Today we make more than 135 million calls a year and that's a lot of watches being checked.

Major organisations such as British Rail and London Weekend Television have permanent feeds of the clock from BT into their private internal phone systems so employees can check the time without making an outside call. The timing of all ITV television programmes is synchronised to TIM

Speaking Alarm Clock

Introduction

Alarm application is a fully featured computerized alarm clock. It has unique interface and is stylish. It is based on my first program that I created in 1984 when I had the great Sinclair Spectrum 48K. That alarm clock was noisy when it was not in action . This one is hardly usable as a regular alarm clock. That is because of the noisy fan in the computer, I will never get used to sleep with the computer on . The digits are created from a bitmap taken by a digital camera (the original bitmap from it was quite dirty (because of the JPEG lossy compression)).
This application is not written for any reuse in mind.
It seems that the alarm letters are not clear on some monitors

Features

5. Applicable interactive option dialog.
