How to use the online alarm clock
As the pub quiz wraps up, set the alarm for 9:11 pm so you can hand in the final answer, collect your coat and leave without drifting into another conversation. That gives you a clear finishing point while the evening is still moving, with 10:00 pm as a useful marker for getting home or making the next connection.
A pub quiz can end noisily, so check the alarm’s sound before relying on it: silent mode may suppress the alert even when the screen appears ready. Choose a tone you can recognise over chairs scraping and teams chatting, then raise the volume enough to hear it without disturbing the whole room. The alarm depends on the browser remaining active, so it cannot signal your departure from the pub quiz if that session stops or the phone falls asleep.
Leaving the pub at 9:11 pm can mean a different journey from the one you made earlier. Check the live departure board or traffic before the final question, especially if buses run less often later in the evening. Allow a few extra minutes for walking to the stop, finding the right platform or crossing a busy town centre; a route that looks short on a map may take longer once evening services thin out.
Common questions
What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 9:11 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.
