How to use the online alarm clock
While preparing to meet the bus from Gatwick Airport, set the 11:47 pm alarm before gathering your coat, keys and any arrival details. That leaves the final part of the evening free for checking the route and likely stop rather than watching the clock. With 12:00 am approaching, the alert can mark the moment to leave or move closer to the pickup point.
Your chosen sound should suit where you will be waiting before the Gatwick bus arrives. A gentle tone may be enough in a quiet room, while a more persistent one makes sense if the television is on or you are packing in another room. Set the volume at a level you can clearly notice without disturbing everyone nearby. If this browser alarm is not kept running and awake, it will stay silent, which could leave the bus waiting while you miss the pickup.
Late-evening preparation is easier when the screen does not dominate a dim room. Once the alarm is set for 11:47 pm, lower the brightness and place the phone where the sound remains audible without keeping the display directly in view. Check the Gatwick arrival information once, then leave the screen alone until the alert sounds; this reduces glare while still keeping the pickup plan close at hand.
Common questions
What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 11:47 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.
