Online alarm clock for 12:13 pm

Pause what you’re doing just long enough to set a 12:13 pm alarm for collecting your medicines from the pharmacy under a PBS prescription. The alert gives you a clear point to break away from the task in front of you, gather the prescription and anything else you need, and leave with time before 1:00 pm.

Because this PBS pharmacy pickup depends on hearing the alert, check where your audio is going after you set it. Headphones can remain connected in a pocket or bag, sending the alarm somewhere you barely notice, so test the volume through the output you expect to use. Keep the browser page open and the device awake: if either is closed down or sleeping, the alarm may not sound, and your pharmacy trip could be delayed.

Fit the pickup into midday by allowing a buffer before whatever comes next, rather than treating 12:13 pm as the moment to begin getting ready. Use some of the 47 minutes before 1:00 pm for travel, finding the prescription and possible waiting time at the counter. That leaves a small margin to return, eat lunch or move on to your next commitment without the pharmacy visit pushing the rest of the day back.

Common questions

Will the alarm still ring if I close the browser tab?

No. The alarm only runs while this tab stays open — closing it, or closing the browser entirely, stops the countdown before it can ring. Keep the tab open in the background if you need it to go off later.

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.
