How to use the online alarm clock
As you finish laying out the school uniform and head away, set the alarm for 9:22 pm so the final check does not slip your mind. There is still space before 10:00 pm to put shoes, PE kit and any signed forms together, then leave everything in one place for the morning school rush.
That last uniform check needs an alert you can actually hear, so look at the phone’s sound settings before relying on the browser alarm. Silent mode or a low media volume may suppress the tone even when the alarm reaches 9:22 pm. Keep the alarm running on an awake phone until it sounds; if the browser is closed or the phone sleeps, the uniform reminder may never be heard.
Once the school clothes are ready, consider whether they should stay by an open window or farther inside the room. At 9:22 pm, evening air outside can feel damp in many parts of the UK, especially after rain. If the uniform is still slightly moist, avoid leaving it beside a chilly window overnight; hang it where air can circulate, with enough room between garments, and check that it is dry before walking away.
Common questions
What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 9:22 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.
