Onlive Clock, developed by Pothos, is a Chrome extension and web app built to keep time inside the browser for daily routines and work. It provides alarm, timer, stopwatch and metronome functions that run from an open tab or extension panel. The tool offers configurable alarm sources and visual themes, and it stores settings locally without requiring registration, making it suitable for students, remote workers, cooks, and musicians who spend time in a browser.

Can the clock still sound alarms if your connection drops?

Yes: the app continues to trigger alarms after the page has loaded, so an interrupted internet link does not stop scheduled alerts. The extension also supplies a secondary audio fail-safe designed to play sounds if a browser-level audio glitch occurs, which reduces missed alarms when a web tab experiences temporary playback issues.

How flexible are alarm sources and wake-up options?

The clock supports multiple media-based alarm sources, including built-in radio stations and YouTube videos, and it can open web pages automatically when an alarm fires. It also offers a talking wake-up voice and traditional sound options, so users can pick live audio, streamed media, or spoken messages as the alarm signal.

How does it integrate with browser workflows and embedding needs?

The extension exposes a configurable hotkey (Alt + 3) to open the clock quickly and supports widgets that embed the clock into external sites or blogs. Settings are remembered locally without an account, and the tool runs as both a Chrome extension and a standalone web page, which lets it fit into a browsing-centric setup across desktop and mobile browsers.

Are the displays and timer types suitable for varied tasks?

The app provides multiple visual styles and display options, plus full-screen mode for room visibility. Timers include standard countdowns, kitchen timers, date-based countdowns for events, a stopwatch, and a metronome, so the interface adapts to cooking, practice sessions, or timed work blocks without requiring extra utilities.

A practical browser-centric clock for users who keep a tab open

Onlive Clock is a pragmatic choice for people who rely on a browser window for daily timing and media-anchored alarms, since it depends on a loaded page and extension presence. Expect dependable in-tab alerts and flexible wake-up sources; test your preferred alarm and keep the clock tab or extension active before relying on it for critical wake-ups.
