How to use the online alarm clock
Pause your tribunal preparation at 12:37 pm so you can shift from the work in front of you to giving evidence without losing track of the time. Setting the alarm now creates a clear break while you are still absorbed in notes or documents. It also leaves a short, useful window before 1:00 pm for gathering the papers you need and settling into the hearing.
Your tribunal evidence depends on hearing the alert, so keep this alarm page open and prevent the computer or phone from going to sleep. If the page is closed or the machine sleeps before 12:37 pm, the browser alarm will not sound and cannot pull you away from your current task. Check the sound level after setting it, then leave the page running while you continue preparing nearby.
Moving from written notes to a midday hearing can mean looking at a bright screen under strong daylight. At 12:37 pm, position the screen so a window is beside you rather than reflected directly in it, and lower the brightness if the page looks harsher than the room. Keep the tribunal papers within easy reach, allowing your eyes to move between them and the screen without repeatedly refocusing across the room.
Common questions
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.
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.
