- Give your alarm a title under Alarm name. This will be your alarm message or a reminder that appears on the screen when you start the countdown (optional)
- Click Set an alarm to set the alarm clock.
- To set multiple alarms, open another tab and repeat the steps.
Once you set the alarm, a live countdown will appear on-screen. When the countdown reaches zero, an alert will sound.
