Online alarm clock for 1:00 pm
Before handing the dog walk to someone else, set the 1:00 pm alarm as the clear changeover point. Tell them which shaded stretch beside the river you had in mind, where the lead and water are, and whether the dog has already been outside. That way, the midday handover covers the practical details instead of relying on a hurried message.
A riverside walk can be missed if the alarm is competing with traffic, conversation, a television or an air conditioner. Choose a signal volume you can hear from the room where the changeover is happening, then test it once against the actual background noise. Keep a separate reminder if the timing matters: this browser alarm sounds only while its page remains open and the phone stays awake, so the dog could otherwise be left waiting for the handover.
Whoever takes the lead should allow for the trip to the river as well as the walk itself. Around 1:00 pm, lunchtime traffic, school-zone conditions and limited parking near popular paths may extend the journey, even when the distance looks short. Check the route before leaving, favour a nearby shaded access point, and include enough travel time that the dog is not kept standing in the midday sun.
Common questions
Is there a cost to use this?
No, it's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you set it. It just needs the tab left open until the time you've chosen arrives.
Will the alarm still ring if I close the browser tab?
No. The alarm only runs while this tab stays open — closing it, or closing the browser entirely, stops the countdown before it can ring. Keep the tab open in the background if you need it to go off later.
Does the alarm work if my laptop goes to sleep?
Not reliably. If the device sleeps or the screen locks, the browser tab pauses along with it, so the alarm may not fire on time or at all. Adjust your power settings if you're relying on this over a longer stretch.
Do I need to create an account or download anything?
No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.
