Online alarm clock for 10:27 pm
You’re handing over the pantomime prop setup at 10:27 pm, so the alarm marks the moment your replacement should take charge. Before stepping away, you can identify which pieces are already in place, mention anything still waiting in the wings and leave a brief note for the next check. That keeps the handover clear while the remaining work continues towards 11:00 pm.
Because another person is relying on this handover, the device needs to stay active long enough to play the alert. After setting the alarm for 10:27 pm, check that its sound can be heard over backstage activity and that the browser still has permission to play it. If the browser tab is closed or the device falls asleep before the set time, no alarm will sound and the props may be left without their planned final check.
Backstage lighting can make a bright screen feel especially stark during the late evening. You can lower the display brightness before reviewing the prop list, then use a torch or the work lights for checking labels and positions rather than holding the screen close to your face. Once the alarm is set, placing the phone where its display is not directly in your eyeline also limits distracting glare while you finish the handover.
Common questions
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.
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.
