How to use the online alarm clock
While arranging blooms and checking entry cards at the flower show, set the 6:23 pm alarm for the moment you need to step away. It gives you a clear cue without forcing you to keep watching the clock as judging, staging or conversations continue. With 7:00 pm approaching, the alert can mark a useful break before the exhibition moves into its evening schedule.
During a busy spell among tables and displays, check where your browser is sending audio before relying on the alarm. Headphones may still be connected in a pocket or resting beside your bag, leaving the alert inaudible to everyone except the unworn earpieces. Play a quick test sound and select the intended speaker if necessary. The flower show reminder cannot ring after the browser page is closed or the phone or computer goes to sleep, so keep both active until 6:23 pm.
As visitors gather and exhibitors begin packing materials, the afternoon noise can shift quickly from steady chatter to sudden bursts of movement. Keep the phone close enough to hear, but away from vases, water and crowded table edges. If the hall or marquee grows louder towards 7:00 pm, choose a distinct alarm tone and use vibration as a second cue, especially while carrying flowers or speaking with judges.
Common questions
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.
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.
