How to use the online alarm clock
As you hand the evening shift to someone else, set the 6:07 pm alarm so collecting the uniform from the school laundry does not get lost in the handover. It marks a clear moment to pass on the key detail, check who is going, and leave enough room before 7:00 pm for the collection itself.
A laundry collection can easily be missed if conversation, traffic or a television covers a quiet alert. Set the alarm volume high enough to stand out from the background, then test it from the distance where the phone will actually sit. Choose a recognisable sound rather than one that blends into other notifications. Keep the browser running and the phone awake, because otherwise the uniform alarm may not sound and the person taking over could miss the collection.
Once the laundry handover is settled, keep the rest of the afternoon from eating into the sleep planned for later. Note any remaining jobs beside the 6:07 pm reminder, but leave non-urgent ones for tomorrow rather than letting them stretch across the evening. If the uniform still needs checking or labelling, prepare a clear space now so it can be handled promptly after collection and put away without delaying bedtime.
Common questions
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.
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.
