How to use the online alarm clock
Finish what you are doing and leave for Gatwick bus arrivals when the 7:52 pm alarm sounds. The alert gives you a clear cut-off for putting things away, picking up your keys and checking the route before heading out. With 8:00 pm close behind, there is little room for one more job that could delay the journey.
Your Gatwick collection depends on hearing the alarm, so check the alert volume even if the phone is otherwise set to silent. A quick test beforehand confirms whether the browser can make a sound under the current settings. Keep the alarm page running and the phone awake; otherwise the airport bus could arrive before the browser produces an alert. A separate phone alarm is a sensible backup if you might lock the screen or leave the browser.
Because this evening pickup falls at 7:52 pm, keep the return home simple if you want to preserve more of the night for sleep. Put anything needed for tomorrow by the door before leaving, and avoid adding unnecessary stops after meeting the bus. Once everyone is back, having the next morning’s essentials ready can shorten the time spent sorting things out before bed.
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 7:52 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.
