How to use the online alarm clock
Waiting to unlock the choir rehearsal hall at 11:37 pm can make every glance at the clock feel necessary, especially when the singers are due at a fixed time. Setting the alarm leaves you free to check the entrance, find the keys and stay nearby without watching each minute pass. The remaining 23 minutes carry you neatly to 12:00 am.
A rehearsal opening depends on hearing the alert when it matters, so an advance signal check is useful here. Set the alarm briefly, confirm that the sound is clear at the volume you intend to use, then return it to 11:37 pm. The alarm cannot remind you to unlock the hall if this browser page stops running or the phone goes to sleep, so the screen and page need to remain active until it sounds.
Outside the rehearsal hall, late-evening traffic and nearby conversations may fade as midnight approaches, while sounds inside a station, foyer or busy high street can still mask a phone speaker. Keeping the phone close, with its speaker uncovered and away from a coat pocket or key bag, makes the 11:37 pm alert easier to notice against the changing background noise.
Common questions
What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 11:37 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.
