Online alarm clock for 12:05 pm
Waking at 12:05 pm with a meeting across the city means the trip has to shape the next hour before anything else begins. There is time to get dressed, gather your keys and check the address, but 1:00 pm can arrive quickly when the route runs through the centre. A departure alarm creates a clear point for moving from preparation to the front door.
For this meeting, the alarm needs to be audible above whatever is happening while you get ready. A television, shower, kitchen exhaust fan or music can mask a quiet signal, so choose a noticeable volume and place the phone where the sound is not muffled by bedding or a bag. This browser alarm can sound only while its page remains active and the phone stays awake; otherwise the meeting departure may pass without a signal.
Crossing an Australian CBD around midday can take longer than the map first suggests, especially with lunch traffic, roadworks, parking searches or a walk from the nearest station. Check the live route before settling on the alarm time, then allow a buffer beyond the displayed journey. If driving, include time for finding a park; if using public transport, account for the walk to the stop and the wait between services.
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.
