How to use the online alarm clock
Break away from what you are doing at 2:07 pm so you can join the lunchtime concert at the cathedral without noticing the hour too late. The alarm gives you a clear stopping point while your attention is elsewhere, leaving enough of the afternoon before 3:00 pm to arrive, settle quietly and avoid disturbing the music.
Your cathedral visit could be missed if the alarm sound has quietly switched to connected headphones. Check the audio destination before relying on it, then choose a volume that you can hear from where you are working. Keep this page active and the phone awake; otherwise the concert reminder may stay silent when 2:07 pm arrives. A brief test sound beforehand can reveal whether the alert is coming through the phone speaker or disappearing into headphones left in a pocket or bag.
After pulling yourself away for music in the middle of the day, think about any sleep you still want later. If an afternoon nap is planned after the concert, set its end time separately rather than reusing the 2:07 pm alarm. Keeping the two moments distinct avoids waking too early because an old alarm remained enabled, while a short nap ending well before evening is less likely to blur into the rest of the day.
Common questions
What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 2:07 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.
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.
