How to use the online alarm clock
Handing the morning bun bake to the next shift at 1:32 am means leaving them a clear cue for when to begin. Set the alarm for the agreed starting time, then note which trays, fillings or proving batches are ready so the handover does not depend on memory. If the first bake must be under way by 2:00 am, the remaining time can cover a quick check of the ovens and tea room prep.
Because the next baker may put on headphones while cleaning down or arranging trays, check where the alarm sound will play before relying on it. Audio can quietly switch to connected headphones, leaving the kitchen itself silent. Use the preview while standing where the baker will work, and disconnect the headphones if the alert needs to be heard across the room. A closed browser or sleeping computer will leave the morning buns without an alarm, so keep it running and awake until it sounds.
During this part of the night, extractor fans, mixers and metal trays can make a quiet alert easy to miss, yet the room may become noticeably calmer between jobs. Place the alarm near the handover station rather than beside a noisy oven, and choose a volume that remains distinct when the next batch starts.
Common questions
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 1:32 am?
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.
Do I need an account or an app?
Neither. Choose a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs in this browser tab. Nothing is downloaded, nothing is registered, and closing the page leaves nothing behind on the device.
Can I change the sound?
Yes, there is a short list of tones to pick from before you press Start. Softer sounds are easy to sleep through, so a firmer bell tends to be the safer choice for anything early in the morning.
