How to use the online alarm clock
Getting ready early to collect your theatre outfit means using 12:42 pm as a prompt to check the collection details, find the receipt and gather anything the workshop asked you to bring. The alarm can mark the moment to finish those preparations, leaving 18 minutes before 1:00 pm for a final check rather than a hurried search at the door.
Because the collection has been planned ahead, the alarm needs a phone or computer that will remain awake until it sounds. If the browser is no longer active or the device has gone to sleep, the workshop collection reminder may never be heard, so a separate phone alarm is sensible when missing the cue would delay the journey. Keep the sound level clearly audible and leave the alarm page visible while finishing the preparations nearby.
Setting off around midday can put the journey through lunchtime traffic, especially near a town centre, school, station or busy high street. A useful allowance includes the usual travel time plus a few minutes for finding the workshop entrance and parking or walking from a bus stop. Checking the route before 12:42 pm also leaves room to notice roadworks, diversions or a less frequent midday service.
Common questions
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 12:42 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.
