How to use the online alarm clock
Hand over your remaining Sunday duties now so you can leave cleanly for a pub roast with colleagues when the 1:22 pm alarm sounds. Confirm who is taking over, pass on any keys or notes, and mention anything still waiting for attention. That leaves enough room before 2:00 pm to finish the changeover without carrying unfinished business into lunch.
Your pub plans need a signal you will actually notice, so check the sound setting before relying on this browser alarm. Silent mode may suppress or soften the alert, depending on the phone and browser, even when the alarm itself is correctly set. Choose an audible volume, keep the page available, and test the sound once if missing the handover would delay everyone. The pub reminder will not sound after the page is closed or if the phone has gone to sleep, so use the handset’s built-in alarm as a backup when you cannot keep it awake.
Once the next person has taken charge, keep the wait until the roast simple: water or a cup of tea is unlikely to spoil the occasion, while a large snack may leave the midday meal feeling unnecessary. If drinks are part of the gathering, saving them for the pub also keeps the journey and final handover straightforward. At 1:22 pm, a small drink and no rushed bite should carry you comfortably to the table.
Common questions
Will it still be right when the clocks change?
Yes. It reads your device's local clock, so the move between GMT and BST at the end of March and October is picked up automatically, as long as the computer's date, time and time zone are set correctly.
Can I use this on a phone?
It works in a mobile browser, but phones lock the screen and suspend background tabs far more readily than a laptop does, which can stop the alarm sounding. For anything important, a desktop or a plugged-in laptop is the steadier option.
Does the alarm still work if I close the tab?
No. Everything runs inside this page, so closing the tab — or quitting the browser altogether — ends the countdown there and then. Leaving it open in the background is all it asks, and switching to another tab makes no difference.
What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 1:22 pm?
The tab sleeps along with it and the alarm will not sound on time, if at all. If you are relying on it, change the power settings so the machine stays awake, or keep a phone alarm running as well.
