Online alarm clock for 1:46 pm
Before handing the mail delivery over to the next person on duty, set the alarm for 1:46 pm so they know exactly when to head out and receive it at the remote station. That leaves a clear checkpoint before 2:00 pm, without relying on a hurried verbal reminder during the changeover.
With station machinery, a radio or conversation running nearby, the alarm may be difficult to hear at its current volume. Choose a strong signal, raise the volume to a level you can test from the expected waiting spot, and keep the browser running on an awake device. Otherwise, the alarm cannot sound and the mail delivery may be left waiting even though the time was set correctly.
A midday alert can carry through a quiet homestead when other people are eating, resting or working indoors. Place the phone close to the person taking over rather than turning the signal up across the whole house. A brief heads-up before 1:46 pm also prevents the sound from startling anyone nearby, while still giving the replacement enough time to move towards the station’s delivery point.
Common questions
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.
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.
