Online alarm clock for 12:01 pm

As you hand your current work to a colleague, a 12:01 pm alarm can mark the point when attention shifts to a client lunch meeting. It leaves a clear window before 1:00 pm for the handover, packing up and getting to the venue without repeatedly checking the clock.

For this lunch meeting, the alarm time should be confirmed while the phone is still in hand, especially if silent mode is normally used during work. Browser audio can be affected by that setting, so the volume needs to be audible and a quick test can reveal whether the alert will be heard. The client meeting reminder will not sound if this page is closed or the phone falls asleep, which could leave the person taking over unsure whether you departed on schedule.

Once the handover is finished, the useful question at midday is how much of the remaining window belongs to travel. Weekday traffic around Australian CBDs can change quickly near lunchtime, while parking, a tram connection or a walk from the station adds time beyond the mapped journey. Checking the route before leaving makes 12:01 pm a practical departure marker rather than simply an alarm time.

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.
