How to use the online alarm clock
Pause your rugby pitch preparation long enough to set an alarm for 4:29 pm, then return to marking lines, checking posts or moving equipment. The alert gives you a clear point at which to leave the job, even if you are absorbed in the final details. There are 31 minutes from then until 5:00 pm, leaving a useful window to put kit away and change.
A rugby ground can be busy or relatively quiet, so match the alarm tone to the setting. A softer sound may be sufficient while you are handling a calm task nearby; choose a more insistent tone if machinery, conversation or distance could mask it. Check the volume before continuing with the pitch. Do not rely on this browser alarm if the computer may sleep or the page may close, as you could miss the moment to step away from the rugby pitch.
Once the afternoon preparation ends, allow part of the gap before your next commitment for small overruns. Wet paint, a stubborn corner flag or equipment that needs another trip to storage can consume several minutes. Treat 5:00 pm as a boundary rather than spare working time: finish the essential pitch task first, then use any remaining minutes to wash up, collect personal belongings and travel without turning the rest of the day into a rush.
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 4:29 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.
