Online alarm clock for 1:23 pm
As you hand the riverside walk over to someone else, set the alarm for 1:23 pm and tell them exactly where the lead, water and waste bags are. That leaves 37 minutes before 2:00 pm, enough for a quick changeover and for the dog to reach a shaded stretch beside the river without rushing the departure.
A quiet chime suits a handover happening near other people, while a more persistent tone makes sense if the next walker may be packing a bag or moving between rooms. Pick a sound they will notice without startling the dog, then set the phone somewhere audible. This browser alarm needs its page kept active and the phone awake; otherwise the dog walk may be missed with no sound to alert the person taking over.
Before the replacement walker leaves at midday, allow for the actual trip to the river rather than treating 1:23 pm as the walking start. A car park entrance, busy crossing or search for a shaded parking spot can add several minutes. Packing everything beside the door and agreeing on a specific shaded meeting point keeps more of the remaining time available for the riverside path itself.
Common questions
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.
Can I change the alarm sound?
Yes, there's a short list of tones to choose from before you press Start. Pick whichever one you're most likely to actually hear — softer sounds are easier to sleep through than a firm chime or bell.
What happens once the alarm goes off?
It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?
It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.
