How to use the online alarm clock
You have just woken up to collect your child from rugby training, so the first job is getting properly alert before leaving. An alarm set for 11:56 pm gives you a clear cue to sit up, switch on a light and gather your keys. With 12:00 am close, there is little room for drifting back to sleep or becoming distracted.
Your rugby pick-up depends on hearing the alarm rather than merely seeing that it was set. Keep this page active, turn the volume up enough to hear from where you are resting, and check that silent mode will not suppress the sound. Closing this page or allowing the phone to sleep may prevent the alarm from sounding, which could leave your child waiting after rugby training. A separate alarm on the phone is a sensible fallback for this journey.
A late rugby collection can still involve an uncertain drive, even near midnight. Check the route before setting off and allow for overnight roadworks, diversions or a queue of cars around the training ground. Put your coat, keys and anything your child needs by the door now, so the 11:56 pm signal leads straight into leaving rather than a search around the house.
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 11:56 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.
