Online alarm clock for 11:49 pm
Before closing the café, set the alarm for 11:49 pm so the reminder is ready when the last tables are cleared. It can mark the point for locking the doors and counting the till, leaving 11 minutes to finish the cash-up before 12:00 am without repeatedly checking the clock.
During a café close, grinders, dishwashers, music and staff cleaning up can drown out a quiet signal. Set the volume while that background noise is still present, then test that the tone can be heard from the till area rather than only beside the phone. The alarm cannot cover the café close if the browser is no longer running or the phone has gone to sleep, so keep it active and use a separate backup if missing 11:49 pm would delay the cash-up.
Once the till totals are done, allow for the trip home rather than assuming late evening means an empty run. Roadworks, weekend traffic near entertainment areas, or reduced public transport services can still add time around midnight in Australian cities. Check the likely route before locking up, and keep keys and travel essentials together so the 11:49 pm finish does not turn into extra time spent inside searching for them.
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.
