How to use the online alarm clock
You have just woken up, and collecting the suit from the theatre workshop is still the first unfinished job of your day. Set the alarm for 2:19 pm before getting out of bed, so the appointment does not disappear among getting dressed, finding your keys and checking the workshop’s collection details. With 3:00 pm approaching, the alert gives you a clear point at which to stop preparing and leave.
Because you may put on headphones while getting ready, check where your browser’s sound is being sent. An alarm can seem silent when its tone has quietly switched from the phone or laptop speakers to headphones left on a chair or tucked into a bag. Test the volume through the output you will actually hear. The browser alarm will not safeguard the suit collection if its page has been closed or the computer has gone to sleep, so keep it active and use a separate phone alarm if you might shut everything down.
Leaving for a theatre workshop around midday deserves a route check before you set off. Allow for lunchtime traffic, roadworks and the time needed to park or walk from a nearby bus stop; a journey that looks short on the map can stretch towards 3:00 pm. Put the collection address into your route planner while you are still getting ready, and note the latest sensible departure time rather than relying only on the alarm.
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 2:19 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.
