How to use the online alarm clock
While you wait to give evidence at a tribunal hearing, the final few minutes can feel longer than the rest of the morning. Setting the alarm for 12:50 pm gives you a clear cue to stop watching the clock and prepare to speak. With 1:00 pm approaching, those ten minutes leave room to check your papers and settle before the appointed moment.
Your tribunal notes may need the full screen, so the alarm page can sit behind them while you read. Moving to another tab leaves this one running in the background, provided the browser remains open and your phone or laptop stays awake. Check that the sound is audible before returning to your documents. If you close the tab, or let the phone or laptop sleep, no alarm will sound and you could miss the tribunal hearing.
Waiting indoors around midday can make a brief step outside feel useful before the hearing, but the air may feel close when humidity is high. A shaded spot near the entrance offers a quieter pause without going far. Keeping any papers in a folder protects them from damp air, while returning inside a few minutes before 12:50 pm leaves time to get seated and ready.
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 12:50 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.
