Online alarm clock for 1:13 am
With the washing machine loaded and the off-peak electricity period under way, you can set the alarm for 1:13 am, finish up, and head to bed. It gives the laundry a clear checkpoint before 2:00 am, whether you need to move a finished load, start the next cycle, or simply confirm that the machine has stopped.
Once the laundry is running, this alarm can stay open while you switch to another browser tab. Background tabs may be slowed or suspended by the browser, so keep this page active if the timing matters. The laundry reminder will not sound after the page is closed or the phone or computer goes to sleep, so use the device’s built-in alarm as a backup before walking away.
Stepping outside after a 1:13 am laundry check can feel quite different from an evening trip to the clothesline. Overnight humidity may leave the air damp and make outdoor drying less useful, especially in coastal parts of Australia. If you are moving washing outdoors, check the local conditions first; otherwise, leave it under cover with enough space between items for air to circulate until morning.
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.
