How to use the online alarm clock
Getting ready early to hand the keys to the letting agent means setting the 6:38 pm alarm before packing the last few things. That leaves a clear prompt ahead of 7:00 pm, with time to check the property, gather every key and put any handover notes somewhere visible.
Because the key handover may happen in a quiet room, check whether your phone is on silent after setting the alarm. The on-screen countdown confirms that it is active, but the sound still depends on the volume and notification settings available in your browser. This alarm only keeps working while the page remains open and the phone stays awake; otherwise, the keys reminder will not sound and the meeting could be missed. Keep the page visible until 6:38 pm and use a volume level you can hear from where you are finishing preparations.
Once the agent has the keys, avoid letting unfinished moving tasks consume the whole evening if you need sleep later. Write down anything that can wait until morning, set aside clothes and essentials for the next day, and choose a firm stopping point. A calmer stretch after the 6:38 pm handover can preserve more of the night for sleep instead of leaving practical loose ends until bedtime.
Common questions
What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 6:38 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.
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.
