Online alarm clock for 6:15 pm
You are wrapping up what you are doing at 6:15 pm and getting ready to take your child to cricket training. Set the alarm for this time so packing away, finding the kit bag and leaving the house do not drift into one another. With 7:00 pm approaching, a clear reminder helps you move from finishing up to getting everyone out of the door.
Your cricket departure determines which alarm sound will work well. Choose a softer tone if the room is quiet and you only need a discreet cue to stop; use a more persistent sound if conversation, television or children getting changed could mask it. Check that the volume is audible before relying on it. Keep the browser page open and your phone awake, or the alarm may stay silent and delay the journey to cricket training.
Leaving for cricket in the late afternoon can mean stepping from an air-conditioned room into lingering heat. Put drinks, hats and any extra kit beside the door before 6:15 pm, rather than searching for them after the alarm sounds. If the car has been standing in the sun, allowing a moment for the air conditioning to cool the cabin can make the trip to the ground more comfortable.
Common questions
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.
What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 6:15 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.
