Online alarm clock for 2:36 pm
Watching the clock for the lunchtime delivery rush, you need the 2:36 pm cue to land exactly when it is time to move. Set the browser alarm for that moment and keep preparing bags, checking addresses or watching for a rider without repeatedly checking the time. The alert leaves 24 minutes before 3:00 pm, enough to handle the next wave without treating the round hour as the starting signal.
During a busy delivery handover, sound can quietly switch to connected headphones even when they are sitting in a pocket or on a desk. Before relying on the alarm, play a quick test and confirm which speaker carries it, then choose a volume that can be heard over kitchen noise or traffic outside. This delivery reminder will stay silent if the browser session ends or the phone falls asleep, so use the phone’s built-in alarm as a backup when you may put it away.
As the midday run continues into the afternoon, glare can make a screen easy to overlook even when it is close by. Before 2:36 pm, shift the phone out of direct Australian sun, angle it towards you and raise the screen brightness only as much as needed. Indoors, opening a blind or moving away from a dark prep corner can make the visual cue easier to notice alongside the sound.
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.
