How to use the online alarm clock
You are only just waking at 7:22 am, so letting the chickens out after sunrise is still the next job rather than one already under way. Set the alarm while you gather yourself, then use the time before 8:00 am to get dressed, find your boots and check that the yard gate is secure. A clear signal keeps the morning from drifting while the flock waits in the coop.
Your chicken routine can easily be delayed if the alarm sound has quietly switched to headphones left on a bedside table or tucked into a bag. Check the sound output before relying on it, and raise the volume enough to hear from where you will be getting ready. The chickens could remain shut in if you close this page or allow the phone or computer to sleep, as a browser alarm cannot sound in those conditions. For extra certainty, leave the page visible and disconnect headphones you are not wearing.
Stepping into the yard soon after sunrise can feel quite different from leaving a warm room. Early air may be cool and damp, with moisture on grass, paving or the coop latch even when rain has stopped. Keep a light layer and footwear beside the door, and take care on slick ground while opening the run. At 7:22 am, that small preparation makes the first outdoor task less abrupt and helps you move calmly around the birds.
Common questions
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 7:22 am?
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.
