Online alarm clock for 2:18 am
While you watch the clock for the mine shift bus, a 2:18 am alarm marks the moment to collect your gear and move towards the pickup point. There are 42 minutes until 3:00 am, enough time to check your bag without treating the round hour as your actual departure time.
For this mine run, confirm where the alarm sound is being sent before settling in to wait. Connected headphones can take the alert silently from the phone speaker, especially if they are tucked in a pocket or bag. A quick sound check at a low volume makes the output clear. A browser alarm cannot sound once its page is closed or the phone has gone to sleep, so the shift bus could leave before you realise the alert failed.
Waiting outdoors before dawn can feel different from the conditions you left indoors. At 2:18 am, humidity may make the air feel cooler or heavier, depending on the mining region and season. Keep a light outer layer accessible rather than buried beneath your work gear, and allow a little time to adjust outside before the bus arrives.
Common questions
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.
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.
