Online alarm clock for 12:18 pm
Before handing over for the afternoon, set the 12:18 pm alarm so the next person knows it is time to call the bank while the branch is still open. That leaves a useful window before 1:00 pm for passing on the account details, explaining the question and noting who will make the call.
Keep the bank call page open after setting the alarm, even if another browser tab comes to the front while you finish the handover. Check that the alarm remains armed, leave the browser running and make sure the sound is audible. If the browser session ends or the computer goes to sleep, the bank reminder will not sound, so use a separate phone alarm when missing the call would leave the task unfinished.
A midday alarm can interrupt anyone eating lunch, working from home or settling a child in another room. Put the computer nearby and choose a volume that the person taking over can hear without sending the sound through the whole house. A brief note beside it—“bank call at 12:18 pm”—also tells others what the alert means, reducing the chance that someone dismisses it before the right person responds.
Common questions
Is there a cost to use this?
No, it's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you set it. It just needs the tab left open until the time you've chosen arrives.
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.
