Online alarm clock for 12:35 am
You have just woken at 12:35 am for a baby who is fed on a regular schedule, while the bottle, burp cloth and quiet room are still waiting. An alarm for this time can mark the start of the feed without making you watch the clock through the night. Once everything is settled, 1:00 am becomes a useful reference point for noting when the feed finished.
For this overnight feed, the alarm remains dependable only while the browser page stays open and the phone or computer remains awake. Closing the browser means the baby’s alarm will not sound, and a sleeping device may silence it as well. Keeping the page visible, the volume audible and the charger connected reduces the chance of discovering the missed alert after the scheduled feed time has passed.
A half-awake feed is easier when the room is prepared for Australia’s warm nights before everyone settles down. At this hour, set the air conditioner to a steady, comfortable level rather than making a sharp temperature change after waking. Keep the cot away from the direct stream of cool air, place feeding supplies within reach, and dim the screen once the 12:35 am alarm is ready so the room stays calm.
Common questions
Why use a browser alarm instead of my phone's built-in one?
Mainly for reliability against silent mode, do-not-disturb, or a phone left charging out of earshot. It's a useful backup or a desk-based alternative, though it depends on this tab staying open rather than running in the background of your phone.
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.
