Online alarm clock for 8:06 pm
You’re handing over responsibility for closing the chicken coop against urban foxes, so an alarm for 8:06 pm gives the other person a precise moment to take over. It removes any uncertainty about who is going outside and when. That leaves plenty of evening before 9:00 pm for checking the latch and confirming that every bird is safely inside.
Before the other person heads towards the coop, check whether their phone or laptop is in silent mode, as that setting may make the alert too quiet to notice. Set 8:06 pm, choose an audible tone and test the volume while you are both there. If the browser tab is closed or the device falls asleep, no alarm will sound, which could leave the chicken coop unsecured against urban foxes.
A handover beside the hen house is easier when neither person is halfway through supper. A cup of tea or glass of water beforehand is practical, but leave a hot meal until the coop has been shut and the latch checked. At this point in the evening, a small snack can bridge the gap without turning 8:06 pm into an interruption at the table.
Common questions
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 8:06 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.
