How to use the online alarm clock
As you hand the supermarket over to the next colleague, set the alarm for 2:19 am so the last part of your shift does not drift beyond the planned finish. It can mark the moment to pass on the keys, mention anything left unfinished and gather your belongings. With 3:00 am still ahead, there is time to leave the shop floor without stretching a small handover into another hour.
Keep this alarm page open after setting the time, and leave the browser running while you complete the handover. Closing either means the alarm cannot sound, so your supermarket shift could continue without the reminder you expected. Check that the sound is audible before stepping away from the phone, then place it somewhere you will notice it but where it will not interfere with customers or colleagues.
Before the final tasks take you beneath bright aisle lighting again, decide what light you want when you leave at 2:19 am. A dimmer screen can feel less glaring outdoors at night, while a small torch may help with keys, a locker or the route across the staff car park. Have it ready beforehand rather than searching through a bag once the handover is finished.
Common questions
What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 2:19 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.
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.
