Online alarm clock for 12:30 am
Finish setting the washing machine for the overnight electricity tariff, set the alarm for 12:30 am, and head out knowing you have a clear reminder. That leaves half an hour before 1:00 am, enough time for the cycle or tariff change you are timing without repeatedly checking the clock.
With the laundry underway, the alarm page can sit behind another browser tab while you use the screen for something else. Keep its page running and make sure sound is allowed before you leave it in the background. Once the page is no longer running, the washing reminder has no way to sound, so use a separate alarm if nobody will remain near the active computer or phone.
Leaving home after starting a late-night load can make a short trip feel straightforward, but roadworks, reduced speed limits and sparse public transport may still stretch the journey around 12:30 am. Check the route before setting off and allow a little extra travel time, particularly if the alarm marks when you need to return for the washing rather than when the cycle itself finishes.
Common questions
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.
Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?
Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.
Can I set more than one alarm at a time?
This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.
