How to use the online alarm clock
Finish what you are doing, collect your things and leave at 11:06 pm so you can pick up the takeaway before the pub kitchen closes. Setting the alarm for this exact time gives you a clear stopping point without repeatedly checking the clock. With 54 minutes until 12:00 am, there may be some breathing room, but the kitchen’s stated closing time should guide your departure.
Your takeaway reminder depends on the browser still being able to sound at 11:06 pm. If the computer or phone falls asleep beforehand, or the browser is no longer running, the pub kitchen alarm may stay silent and leave you unaware that it is time to go. Keep the device awake, leave this page running, and set the volume high enough to hear from where you are finishing up.
Leaving for a pub collection late in the evening can mean moving from a bright room into a dark street. Before settling down to work, switch on an outside light if you have one, place your keys where they are easy to see, and keep a small torch ready. Lowering harsh indoor lighting shortly before 11:06 pm can also make the change in brightness less abrupt when you head out.
Common questions
What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 11:06 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.
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.
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.
