Online alarm clock for 12:38 pm
While you wait for the appointed moment to have fasting blood tests, watching 12:38 pm can make every minute feel unusually noticeable. Set the alarm for the time you need to leave, check in, or follow the instructions provided by your pathology collection centre. With 1:00 pm approaching, the alert can free you from repeatedly checking the clock while you keep track of the planned timing.
Before relying on the alert for your blood tests, check whether your phone is on silent and raise the alert volume if needed. A visual notification alone may be easy to miss in a waiting room or while travelling. Keep the browser active until the alarm sounds: if it stops running or the phone sleeps, the alarm may not sound, and your blood tests timing could be delayed. A quick sound check now can confirm that the chosen volume is noticeable without disturbing everyone nearby.
If you need to head outside around midday, check the humidity as well as the temperature before leaving. Australian air can feel heavier than the reading suggests, particularly after summer rain or in coastal areas. Allow a little extra walking time, choose shade where available, and wait indoors near the collection centre rather than standing in humid air until 1:00 pm.
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.
