Related questions
Can I use an offline browser alarm clock if I lose Wi-Fi?
Yes, as long as the page was already loaded before your Wi-Fi dropped. The browser handles both the countdown and the audio locally.
What happens if I refresh the page while offline?
If your browser reloads the page, the alarm is restored, but the browser will ask for one click anywhere on the page before allowing sound.
Why does the alarm need the tab to stay open?
The alarm lives inside the browser tab itself. Closing the tab or putting the computer to sleep stops the script that triggers the sound.
