How to use the online alarm clock
Break away from what you are doing when the 4:56 pm alarm sounds, so you can gather your notes and leave for your MP’s constituency surgery. With 5:00 pm approaching, use those few minutes to check the address, put any relevant letters in your bag and reduce your question to one clear sentence.
Your conversation may call for a gentle opening or a firmer tone, and the alarm can mark the point when you stop rehearsing and make that choice. A softer approach may help when asking for guidance, while calm persistence can suit an unresolved constituency issue. Set the alert at the volume you need and leave this browser alarm visible while you finish preparing. If the page is closed or your phone goes to sleep, the alarm may not sound, leaving you late for the MP’s surgery.
Coming away from an afternoon constituency appointment can leave the issue circling in your thoughts long into the evening. Write down any promised follow-up as soon as you return, then put the papers aside rather than carrying the discussion towards bedtime. If some sleep remains before an early start tomorrow, keeping that later stretch free from further case notes gives it a clear boundary.
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 4:56 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.
