How to use the online alarm clock
As you finish preparing the van for the morning milk round and head away from the yard, set the alarm for 1:33 am before leaving. That gives you a clear stopping point for the final checks, paperwork or keys, while 2:00 am remains an easy reference if the departure schedule changes.
Leaving the dairy with the alarm page running means the browser may move it into the background while you use another page. Keep this page open, check that sound is allowed and set the volume high enough to hear from where you will wait. If you close the browser or allow the computer to sleep, the alarm cannot sound when the van needs to leave, so use a separate alarm if you will be away from the screen.
Once the van is ready at this hour, note how much time remains before your next job later in the day rather than filling the gap automatically. Put the keys, route sheet and anything needed on your return in one familiar place, then leave yourself a sensible buffer for travelling home, resting and coming back without turning the next commitment into a rush.
Common questions
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 1:33 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.
