How to use the online alarm clock
As you hand the early bake over to the next shift, set the alarm for 2:00 am so the morning buns go into the oven on schedule. Leave a clear note about which trays are proved and which still need time, giving your colleague a clean starting point when the alarm sounds.
A handover in a quiet tearoom calls for a tone that the incoming baker will notice without jolting everyone nearby. Choose a soft sound if they are already working beside the oven, or a more persistent one if they may be in the store room. Check the volume before leaving and keep this page active on an awake computer: if the browser is closed or the machine sleeps, the baking alarm will not sound and the buns may miss their planned oven time.
Before finishing the night shift, check how damp the air feels outside as well as the tearoom’s indoor conditions. At 2:00 am, cool, humid air brought through an open delivery door can alter how quickly exposed dough develops, while a dry heated room may affect it differently. Keep trays covered during the handover, shut the door once flour or supplies are inside, and record any noticeable change for the baker taking over.
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 2:00 am?
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.
